Breno Altman is a brilliant communist journalist here in Brasil. A secular Jew from an influential anti-zionist family, he is a major critic of Zionism. He is under fierce attack by the Zionist lobby.

He explains that Zionism enacted a religious reform: the old Jewish doctrine "Israel will be restored after the Messiah comes" was replaced by "The Messiah will come after Israel is restored". Some Orthodox Jews still oppose this new doctrine.
