IST #39: What is Zionism?

the only way we could make this world a better place is if we stop looking at how we are different from other humans (how you are jew, he is christian, she is budist) which to me it's ridiculous, because we are NOT what religion tells us, we are ONE HUMAN RACE, IN ONE SINGLE LAND CALLED EARTH!!! divisions are a stupid human invention, that only lead to war, and at the end no one wins.

@masadun your argument for the jews having entitlement to expand there settlements is invalid because that same argument could be applied to the people who are being kicked out of there homes by israel zionism. when they expand they just go up to houses and say to the people living there for generation "hey this is nows now you got 24 hours to pack your shit and gtfo"

@ wolco003

Hold on there I'm neither Jew nor a Zionist, yet what is wrong about Israel expanding it's settlements into it's own land? As I understand it, there are several key items that are in dispute here. However, all of which are trumped by the fact that this land was given to them by God ...and subsequently taken away from them only to be returned to a remnant of the original tribes.

If possible, I'm interested in hearing why Zionism is wrong. I look forward to your response.

Ok...Let's make the world a better place...How about Israel stops expanding settlements...that is straight talk about Israel, not your lies that Zionism=Judaism...politics do not equal spirituality...war does not equal peace!

Why is Isreal so violent and keep pushing there ways on Palestine? Aren't these Zionist views? Why can't these so called peacefull people just leave thm alone? what is the connection with Isreal and America. How is it that a small country like Isreal control or be protected by America! It makes no sense!
