that's according to your opinon, why would the jews care about your opinionews are a people in tarry. the messiah wont come
litvaks believed there was going to be a messiah regardless, the only new thing that the Baal Shem Tov did was introduce more mysticism into Eastern European Judaism and advocate for the simpler people who had to substinence farm and didnt have the time to study in the yeshiva"there will eventually be a messiah and this is how to act to speed up his arrival
this is not a zionist position. Hasids are not Zionist. At the very most, they tolerate Israel existing but they do not support it. Political Zionism was an atheist movement and initially antireligious. Religious Zionism stems from Rabbi Kook who wasn't Hasidic and was from the Litvak branch.started the ball rolling on the start of the zionist movement "there will eventually be a messiah and this is how to act to speed up his arrival"
You're misunderstanding stuff and making connections that make sense with your misunderstandings but do not reflect reality. Hasidim were extremely anti zionist to the point where many died in Germany because they refused to work with Zionists attempting to buy them out from Germany.
