Zionism

Zionist idialism was first adapted in the early years of the imigration to Israel, the meaning of Zionism is to settle in the land which holds the holy lands and holy places to the Jewish people.
The Western Wall, our ancesters graves, Beit Hamikdash...
Zionism is not a religion, its a way of life.
And Zionism is not a group of people that decided to make the lives of the Palestinians miserable, even if you think so. |
I know Zionism is not a religion, it's an ideology. At its extreme, Zionism assumes that Palestine is a "land without a people, for a people without a land" which is racist because Palestine had a people. Zionism also thrives on a Jewish majority and can't exist without it. That's why Israel won't allow the Palestinian refugees their right to return to the land they fled from in Israel. That's why the Palestinian population growth is the biggest threat to Israel. That's why a one, binational, democratic, and secular state is unacceptable to Israelis. It would "destroy" Israel, but not in the sense that Palestinians would go on a murderous rampage hahaha, that's a load of garbage that's being spread about us, which is also extremely racist. But because of our numbers and our right to vote--if Israel is truly a democracy, this would be its test.
