I haven't studied Jewish scripture, so I won't be commenting on the correctness of this, and I am simply using this to draw a comparison to diasporoid Asians in the west. I've heard the argument from some Orthodox Jewish voices that Zionists are people who view traditional Jewish culture as the cause of the discrimination they faced in their countries, so by creating a national identity, they can reinvent what it means to be Jewish, but be seen as equals among all nations in the world.
This reminds me of the attempt by diasporoid Asians in America to institutionalize the "Asian-American" identity. Look at the loudest diasporoid voices: they're out of touch with their family's cultures, usually due to an active attempt at distancing themselves from them, and blame their parents for the different treatment they receive in America (you mean to tell me you're misunderstood and treated differently because you look different from the stereotypical American and had a different cultural upbringing from many around you!?)
Their solution to this problem is to create a racial identity that celebrates "Asianness" on a superficial level, differentiating themselves from other types of Americans, in hopes of being treated like a white American while being acknowledged that they're special.
This is why I've fundamentally disagreed with diasporoid "Pan-Asianism." This isn't to say that Asian people from different national and civilizational backgrounds shouldn't stand together in the face of anti-Asian discrimination, but the "Pan-Asianism" they propose puts race above culture and is, to me, a form of open society cosmopolitanism among people who look a certain way.
The vast majority of Asian people in America are working class immigrants who stick to their own due to cultural and lingustic reasons. To a Chinese immigrant, a Laotian immigrant is just as foreign as a Somalian immigrant. Diasporoids who start "Asian-American" organizations fail to get much of a reach beyond their little circle jerks because there aren't the numbers, and because they fail to reach out to the majority of working class Asians in America, who simply do not view themselves as "Asian."
You either embrace or reject your heritage, and that's your choice. Either way, on some level you'll be treated differently and "foreign" because you look different and had a different cultural upbringing, but that's normal. Even my dad, who grew up Chinese in Korea, faced something similar despite Chinese and Korean people looking much more similar than Asian people and the typical American.
In fact, being Chinese in south Korea back then was much worse than growing up yellow in America today. Even though people like him could blend in if they weren't heard speaking Chinese, street fights broke out all of the time due to discrimination, because they could be recognized by their school uniforms on their way to and from school (the south Korean government back then did not grant citizenship to people like my dad, and he grew up going to a school for Chinese people, receiving a Chinese education, where Korean was taught in school like a foreign language class).
This is just how things are when cultures collide, and it takes time to smooth out. And the example I give are two cultures with many overlaps, both of which are heavily influenced by Confucian ideology.
And you know who began "Pan-Asianism" as a concept? The Japanese imperialists, who created the fake and 尺e七a尺ded idea of "The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" that really just meant "greater East Asian subjugation by Japanese imperialism."
You want to fix problems faced by Asians in America? You have to work with other Americans to fix America in general. You want to help your community? You'd have to actually be a part of your community, instead of creating a fake one that's only given a shred of legitimacy because it's upheld by liberal institutions.
