What is zionism and is it dangerous?

Answer 1

Zionism is the practice of wanting to control the entire planet.
Originally, the Zionists were Jews, who, believeing that they are the chosen people, reckon that they have a right to control the entire planet.
It is very dangerous because it means either death or slavery for non-Zionists.
Now Zionism has many members who are not Jews, like those in the Pentagon and White House for example.

Answer 2

Zionism is nothing more than Jewish expression of nationalism. It is a desire by Jews to have a homeland an national identity. It is absolutely equivalent to any other form of nationalism. I can't see a logical way of objecting to Zionism if one accepts, for example, German or French nationalism. Of course, there are rational arguements why any nationalism is dangerous, and Zionism would certainly qualify as dangerous (along with American patriotism and Saudi nationalism) under these arguements.

People single out Zionsim for special criticism and attention only because it is the "Jew" of nationalist movements. People who hate Jews and think we are dangerous consider our natural aspriations to continue our existance also dangerous.

Answer 3

Zionism is the belief that Jews should have Israel (Jerusalem) as their homeland. You don't necessarily have to be Jewish to believe that.

No it's not dangerous. It's just an ideology. It's not easy though, because of all the conflict in the middle east, and the issues with Palestine.

Answer 4

modern political movement for reconstituting a Jewish national state in Palestine. Don't know anymore about it but it sounds dangerous.

Answer 5

Another name for Jews. No in its self it is not dangerous, only the people who want to kill ALL Jews are afraid of the word.

Answer 6

"Zionism " is very dangerous and I'm far from anti jewish

Zionism represents itself as a political movement concerned principally with the establishment of a state in Palestine to be controlled by and for Jews. It began in the late 19th Century and attained its stated objective with the creation in 1948 of the state of Israel by the United Nations (at the insistence of the United States and without the agreement of existing Middle Eastern states). Subsequently Israel doubled the amount of territory it controlled by means of its illegal occupation of the West Bank in the 1967 and 1973 wars.
In its current form Zionism seeks to dominate all of Palestine and the Middle East by means of violence and the threat of violence (using weapons manufactured and purchased with billions of dollars of "aid" supplied by the United States at taxpayer expense) and to maximize its influence in world affairs and in world history, principally by means of control of the government of the USA (primarily by blackmailing its many corrupt politicians), at the expense of the social wellbeing not only of the Palestinians but of the peoples of all lands.

Zionists claim that Jews have the right to possess all land between the Nile and the Euphrates because (they say) this land was given to them by some entity they call "YHWH" as claimed in the Old Testament (Genesis 15:18). But this would not be the first time that documents written by humans were used to justify land grabs. (And this "YHWH" appears, from accounts in the Old Testament, to be a particularly repulsive entity, vain, jealous, given to fits of rage and directing his followers to massacre civilian populations — an entity who, if he existed, would be quite unworthy of the devotion of anyone with a sense of justice and morality.)

Zionists also lay claim to Palestine because this was territory controlled by two Jewish mini-states, Judah and Samaria, until their destruction by the Romans in the 1st C. CE. To which may be replied: If Zionist claims to a Jewish "homeland" in Palestine, based on Jewish occupation of that area 2000 years ago, are accepted as valid then the claims of North American Indians to their former homeland (all of the United States) and the claims of Australian Aborigines to their former homeland (all of Australia) should also be accepted as valid, and those homelands returned. Not to mention the descendants of the inhabitants of countless mini-states which have risen and fallen over the course of thousands of years of human history. Jews have no more rights than anyone else.

Zionists are not content with having acquired a state of their own in Palestine, they also want this state to be for-Jews-only, thus the desire and intention to expel from Israeli-controlled territory all the indigenous inhabitants (a practice sometimes known as ethnic cleansing, a concept derived from the Nazi practice of "cleansing" areas of all Jews so that those areas are then Judenrein).
