Yup, I use YouTube to get all my historical and current events information.

Answer 2

Actually, you have it all wrong.

Zionism is a cause to return Jews to their homeland. There has always been a Jewish presence in Israel, no matter how far back you go, unlike the Palestinian presence. Jews in Palestine were called Palestinians as well before the Balfour Declaration. Do you know how the Jews earned the Balfour Declaration from Britain? They fought in WWII on the front lines with the Allied troops. Jews from Palestine. Where did the Arabs from Palestine fight? On the side of the Nazis. In fact, some Arab leaders were trying to become Hitler's officers in order to bring the war and Holocaust to Palestine. And this was BEFORE there wasn't even any talk about a Jewish state, so the Arabs excuse for hating Jews is a non issue as of this time period. The Israelis were given that land legally and the Palestinian claims about how persecuted they are is a lie. They say they have no homes--Israel built multi million dollar housing complexes both in Israel and the territories and set them aside for Palestinian use--the Palestinians bombed most of them and left one to use as sniper vantage to kill Israelis. Palestinians say there is an apartheid state--Palestinians have as much rights as any Israeli, many serve in the Knesset. If it was an apartheid state, would that be allowed to happen? Go to Haifa, talk to some of the residents there. Arabs and Jews live there peacefully together.

Secondly, those "Jews" you've linked everyone to are mad that Israel is not a totalitarian Jewish state, and also that people are trying to restore Israel before Moshiach comes. They are the same people who throw rocks at anyone who is not one of them walking through their neighborhood. If a girl walks through their streets and her skirt in not precisely down to her ankles, they will throw rocks at her and scream at her. The men do not work, and expect the women to support the 10-15 children by themselves. Women are not allowed to learn Torah and boys are not allowed to learn secular subjects like math, science, etc. The internet is an evil thing as well as anything else they don't believe in. They are extremists and one step away from being terrorists. If that's the kind of people you listen to...well, to each their own. Formulate your own ideas. But sticking a NK rabbi up on a video will do more to deplete your point, not accentuate it.

Answer 3

Zionism is an international political movement that supports a homeland for the Jewish people in the Land of Israel.[1] Formally organized in the late 19th century, the movement was successful in establishing the State of Israel in 1948, as the world's first and only modern Jewish State. It continues primarily as support for the state and government of Israel and its continuing status as a homeland for the Jewish people.[2] Described as a "diaspora nationalism",[3] its proponents regard it as a national liberation movement whose aim is the self-determination of the Jewish people.[4]

While Zionism is based in part upon religious tradition linking the Jewish people to the Land of Israel, where the concept of Jewish nationhood is thought to have first evolved somewhere between 1200 BCE and the late Second Temple era,[5][6] the modern movement was mainly secular, beginning largely as a response to rampant antisemitism.[7] At first one of several Jewish political movements offering alternative responses to the position of Jews in Europe, Zionism gradually gained more support, and the Holocaust accelerated Jewish immigration to the Land of Israel. On May 14, 1948, the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel stated: "In the year 5657 (1897), at the summons of the spiritual father of the Jewish State, Theodore Herzl, the First Zionist Congress convened and proclaimed the right of the Jewish people to national rebirth in its own country."[

Answer 4

I watched it for about five seconds before I realized that I didn't care.

There's no way that that guy knew every single motive for every single Jew that turned against Judaism and the Torah. Anyone who values a book more than a human life is worshipping the concept of life rather than life itself.

Answer 5

I'm not checking out your link, just answering your main question.

No, it is not "just". But then neither is almost any modern country that slaughtered locals in order to form itself. Israel just happens to be the newest one.
