Haredi anti-Zionism rejected nationalism and racial distinctions outright

Evidence

Yet there emerged a major rebellion against Geiger’s scholarly and political (and, at that time, non-Zionist) endeavor, a rebellion that was led most prominently by Gershom Scholem on the scholarly front (and there are successors), and more generally by so-called Political Zionism on the cultural and political fronts. Heschel explains that “the Zionist revolt against the alleged marginalization of Jews in history that had resulted from Diaspora experience turned out to be a revolt against Judaism, not a revolt against the West” (69). — Gil Anidjar, The Jew, the Arab, 972 (#complicates, via linked claim)
