What is Zionism? The ideological question, rooted in the 19th century, has gained surprising urgency in an Israeli election campaign that seems more open than had been expected.
Seeking to take votes from the nationalistic right of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the relatively liberal opposition has rebranded itself as the Zionist Unionsparking a debate about a concept that some considered resolved when the Jewish state was declared and widely recognized in 1948. [ ]
On the left, politicians speak of true Zionism as requiring the establishment of peace and equality in the land, including by making peace with the Palestinians and giving up land if needed.
Netanyahu has mocked his rivals as the anti-Zionist Union. Backers of his Likud tend to equate the term with a strong Israel standing up to its enemies, and with the West Bank settler movement specifically. Ideological settlers view themselves as true Zionists, called upon to reclaim the Holy Land in its entirety almost regardless of the consequences.

It is getting damned scary how lots of people on either side of the pond are starting to blame the Jews for damned near everything that is starting to go wrong.
The rise of antisemitism is going to herald another world war
It’s just words...
Yeah, right.
the BS flag goes here:
(AP is looking very much like just another Obama/Soros/IslamoNazi propaganda outlet, as are many of our major media these days. The ‘interpretation’ of Zionism in this article is about as accurate as Obama saying ISIS is not Islamic. BS BS BS and more BS, putting Gobbels to shame at his own game. Gobbels was a rank amateur liar compared to what we get fed today!)
Nazis, liberals, and Muslims will claim that Zionism means that Jews want to take over and control the world for their nefarious designs. In actuality, it means that Jews should own Israel as their homeland as they have since antiquity, that it was given to them by God himself, that it should be an independent country. That’s all.
Iv'e said it several times on FR through the years, the biggest collection of dumb Jews are in Israel.
Because they believe they can talk their way into a peaceful solution with the Muslims. -Tom
Call them what they are, which is liberals. They reject their history just like US liberals reject their own history.
These are our tax dollars injected into an Israeli election to destroy Netanyahu and the Israeli right.
yours: “These are our tax dollars injected into an Israeli election to destroy Netanyahu and the Israeli right.”
These are our tax dollars injected into an Israeli election to destroy Israel.
I have been reading that the Jews bought all of that land in Israel and they own the land. The farm land was becoming unproductive and the Arab farmers were selling land to Jews especially since 1920. The Jews have been working the land and adding infrastructure. Arabs want the land now after the Jews make it productive.
Yes.
The Ottoman ownership stayed with the plantation/Bey.
Arabs didn’t originally understand that when the Israelis Jews bought land, they intended to be there themselves and work it.
The Arabs are just crying over spilled milk and they have no case.
“The rise of antisemitism is going to herald another world war”
Which officially started today, btw.
