Zionism

Zionism is an ideology that authorizes the physical displacement of one group of people, without their consent, by another group of people.

The architects of the Zionist movement were quite candid about the role that violence would necessarily play in displacing the indigenous people of Palestine.

The claim that Zionism is not an inherently violent ideology is, on its face, incoherent.

 

It is made by people who interpret Zionism selectively and ahistorically. One could do the same, I suppose, with Afrikaner Nationalism, for example. In 2025, few people would do that because Afrikaner Nationalism is in bad odor. I find it astonishing, given what we have been witnessing day in and day out over the past 21 months, that Zionism still finds its apologists.
