More Controversial Prospectives

This article makes it seem like Zionism is unpopular and wrong. It also makes it seem like most Jewish people do not support Zionism. While I do not support aggressive settlements into “disputed land” as have been done by the Israeli government, I do support Zionism, and a Jewish state. Zionism is the idea that Jewish people have the right to their own state.

Anti- Zionist movements are racist, much like movements which try to exile a people from their country. Could you imagine an article about African Americans no longer being welcome in the USA? Replace African American with Jew, and USA with Israel, and this is what you have done.
