Come, let us build a city, and a tower
with its top in the heavens,
and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be
scattered over the face of the whole earth. (11:4)
In 1904, Rabbi Dov Aryeh Ri魛劥er of Ro魛劥erdam published
(in the periodical Hapeles) a collection of le魛劥ers from
gedolei hador expressing their opinion of Mizrachi, the new
religious Zionist organization. One of them, Rabbi Chaim
Berlin, son of the Netziv, used a posuk in Parshas Noach:
鈥淎nd they said, come, let us build a city, and a tower with
its top in the heavens, and let us make ourselves a name,
lest we be sca魛劥ered over the face of the whole earth.鈥?He
explained that the wicked king Nimrod and his advisors
who were building the tower were trying to rebel against
Hashem. But they decided it would be unwise to make this
goal public, because the majority of the people would be
against it. So instead they told everyone that the purpose
of the tower was so that they should not be sca魛劥ered over
the face of the earth. This is the meaning of the words: 鈥淎
tower with its top鈥?鈥?i.e. its purpose 鈥?鈥渋n heaven鈥?鈥?to rebel
against Hashem 鈥?鈥渁nd let us make ourselves a name鈥?鈥?br /> let us make a good name for ourselves in the eyes of the
masses by saying that our purpose is 鈥?鈥渓est we be sca魛劥ered
over the face of the whole earth.鈥?(Mishkenos Haro鈥檌m p. 243)

Do you mean that Israel was built on a lie, so as to not have the world against it?
Israel is not trying to build the tower of Babel. And by the way, those early Zionists were right; if more people had heeded the call, the last century would have been less tragic. Also, the Jews were already scattered over the whole world, so that's a stupid argument.
Yo go, Anna!!! Tell it like it is!
