What does 'Religious Zionism' mean to Diaspora Jews who identify with that label today & how do those Jews look at Israel's national-religious youth?

Yehuda HaKohen is joined by Ben Greenfield, rabbi of the Greenpoint Shul, to discuss what being a “Zionist” means to a self-defined “Religious Zionist” living comfortably in the Diaspora.

The two also address the liberal International Rabbinic Fellowship’s recent condemnation (drafted by Greenfield) of the violence against Palestinians at the Yom Yerushalayim flag march in Jerusalem and whether or not the young perpetrators of that violence can be redirected towards actually leading efforts to heal Jewish-Palestinian relations.
