saying agnostic Herzl made prophecies? 20th April 2010
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1164154.html

Independence Day celebrations kicked off Monday night in Israel with the lighting of beacons at the official ceremony at Mount Herzl national cemetery in Jerusalem, which also marks the conclusion of Memorial Day.

The theme of this year's ceremony, for Israel's 62nd Independence Day, is Herzl's adage "If you will it, it is not a dream."

Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin lit the first beacon at the ceremony, and emphasized Israel's commitment to the unity of Jerusalem in his address.

"Sixty-two years after the prophecy of [Herzl's] Altneuland was realized, we, the generations of those who established the country, know very well that Israel's salvation did not come from prophets or from diplomats,"

How has Zionism not changed the rules of Judaism? ie no further prophets after Malachi and The Three Oaths
 
Can I do a bit of educating here? Dictionary definition of prophecy:
1.the foretelling or prediction of what is to come.
2.something that is declared by a prophet, esp. a divinely inspired prediction, instruction, or exhortation.
3.a divinely inspired utterance or revelation: oracular prophecies

Now, notice that the #1 definition is simply a prediction of what is to come without any reference to divine inspiration. That definition is #2. So, no one believes he was a prophet; you just made that up because you hate Jews. I've seen your other questions.
