The guy in the video I posted from the UK stated we want to ensure ‘an end to the settler colonial, racist, apartheid regime which is Israel’, so it’s pretty clear what he means.
I think the term ‘Zionism’ is very clearly understood as Jewish nationalism and the support of the establishment of Israel. Israel has already been established anyway (and the term pre-dates it existence) so it’s support of Israel existing as a majority Jewish State in the current time era.
People who confusticate the term do so purely because they don’t want to admit they don’t believe a Jewish State, meaning Israel, should exist
Which is odd to me as no one seems to have a problem with majority Muslim (53), Christian, Catholic (Vatican City), Hindu and Buddhist countries, or the 8 Islamic States, because there is a problem with Jewish people having their own State on their own ancestral land because they are Jews, despite Jewish people being one of the few peoples who have consistently been persecuted for centuries as a diaspora group and having a clear reason for having a majority State.
The conflict being about land is smoke and mirrors. It’s about religion as Muslims regard it all as conquered Muslim land.
Arabs were given 86% of the land (of the entire British Mandate), Jews 14% despite being 30% of the population in 1947, which they were quite happy to and did share with Arabs. Land allocated to the Jews was mostly desert and malaria infested swamp. The Arabs still didn’t want them to have any land as a majority Jewish State even though Jewish people had been present in the region for centuries, and the Arabs were colonisers of the land themselves. The Arabs had also benefitted massively from Jewish migration to the area in terms of jobs, higher wages, medical care, modernised agriculture and better living conditions. That’s why so many moved into the region who now profess to be indigenous…..
The Maldives is the only country in the world where only Muslims can be citizens and non-Muslim visitors such as foreign workers or tourists can only practice their religion in private. They also have the death penalty for apostasy, and no one cares about that but they do care about Jewish people having a majority Jewish State in their indigenous lands despite having a large Muslim population with citizenship, in direct contrast to the Maldives.
The Maldives became an independent State in 1965. I have never heard anyone going on about it being an ‘ethno state’ or saying it shouldn’t exist because it’s a a Muslim State.
