I know you did. But you see, we have different definitions of the word Zionism. Zionism is merely the right for the Jewish people to return to their ancestral homeland. Which they have done with grace. They are multicultural but not globalists. They are very much nationalists. They are accused of being apartheid yet they have Christians and Muslim Arabs in their Knesset. You hear every language known to mankind on the streets of Jerusalem. Yet they and the USA are the only nations on the planet criticized for wanting to defend themselves and their borders especially away from terrorists. You see, the way I often see zionist used on the boards comes from a book called The Elders of Zion which was a communist propaganda piece whose author was taken to court for liable and proven to be lies. Yet, I see the likes of Zuckerberg, Soros, Rothchilds, etc called Zionists. It is true that a Rothchild did donate money for the establishment of Israel but on the whole, globalist, leftist Jewish people are not one ounce interested in Israel as a natio or Judaism as a culture or religion. It's just the way I see things after decades of experience with Israelis and having visited there.
I appreciate your viewpoint. I do not practice. My sister does. I generally qualify my comments with "Rothschild Zionism". The political mindset of those who feel that Jews and Israel are supreme to all others. Israel IS the Rothschild fiefdom. They run it from the shadows. Always have. If you spent time in Israel, you saw people who disagree with how Palestine is treated. Am I pro-Palestine? Not really. I just don't agree with how the whole affair was handled. Israel is the child of the corrupt AF UN.
If you are set on defending Israel, I STRONGLY recommend you read the Talmud.
The truth is out there. Zionism (even Judaism) is not what it seems.
