    No zionism was an supermasist ideology that want to force a state on local population and kick out the local people

    Herzl’s Diary, 12 June 1895

    The property owners will come over to our side. According to my conception, the majority of the local population will have to be transferred elsewhere.

    We shall try to spirit the penniless population across the border by procuring employment for it in the transit countries, while denying it any employment in our own country. - Herzl’s Diary, 12 June 1895

    Both the process of expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried out discreetly and circumspectly - Herzl’s Diary, 12 June 1895

      Are you aware that Arabs also thought the same of Jews? You’ll find that almost all parties in the region share the same views and hatred.

            He has little influence, he is insignificant most arabs sided with the allies and fought nazi germany including volunteering18k palestinians. Now back to the topic why don’t you admit that zionism was always about stesling local people land by herzl admission?

                Lol he is the creator of modern zionism. What about former israeli prime ministers, will you also tell me they are also insignificant?

                after the formation of a large army in the wake of the establishment of the state, we will abolish partition and expand to the whole of Palestine - Ben Gurion

                  Oh, you just said that the Grand Mufti, Amin al-Husseini, has little influence and is insignificant, so I’m just doing the same until you admit fault.

                  Ben Gurion has little influence and is insignificant.

                    Why are you still denying that modern zionism was a supermasist based on herzl admission.

                    Husseni asked arabs to support hitler so If he had that much influence most arabs would have sided with the axis but no they was with the allies

        It is supermasism

        Supremacism is a stronger and broader belief in the inherent superiority and dominance of one group over others—often based on race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, or cultural identity.

        It’s a fact that zionists believe that they have more right to the land because their ancestors used to live there 2000 years ago over the local popuation who never left. It’s a fact that israel as a zionist state is dominating palestinians. The best example are illegal settlers terrorists are acting violently on palestinians with the idf protection

          You’re missing the entire point, likely in bad faith. Here’s the deal: democracy allows the people to decide their fate. Israel was a project to bring democracy to the middle east. Everything else is a distraction by authoritarian forces across the world. They need it to fail because democracy itself is a threat to their hold on power.

          Palestinians should have (in the past at least) worked to be a part of Israel. It was their chance at freedom and they refused to share it with Jews. Now that doesn’t matter because fascism rose, Israel fucked up, and now the world must do for the Palestinians what it did for the Jews after the Holocaust.

            You are the bad actor. Democracy is internal has nothing to do with the fact that Zionists immigrant forced a state on the local population and did ethnic cleansing in 48. Stop pretending that Zionism was not a supremacist ideology

            Nobody is tricked by your disingenuous mention of democracy to deflect and trying to making it about jews vs Arabs.

            Palestinians should have (in the past at least) worked to be a part of Israel. It was their chance at freedom and they refused to share it with Jews

            Arab suggested a one state solution with equal rights to everybody, Israel never did . A one state where west bankers and Gazan become citizens on Israel would go against the fundamental of Zionism which is a Jewish state

                Zionists being emigrants is a fact through, palestinian being the local population is a fact. Don’t conflate zionists with jews in general, i know there always was some jews who never left the land, doesn’t make thr europeen zionists having right to force the state on thrm

                  Don’t conflate “local population” with “free people,” which they could have been had they the foresight to work through the shitty situation. They would be Jordanians today. Idk much about modern Jordan because it’s not a democracy and doesn’t have a free press. It has a king. A ruler. An authoritarian. Meanwhile Arabs inside Israel have representation and are working up and out of the apartheid that very much is real and problematic. You’d have to go to Jordan to ask the local population if they would prefer democracy over their king.

                    I won’t let you deflect. Palestinians are local population, Zionists immigrants came to the land and said you have you give us part of your land so we can build a state majoritarily for us. How don’t you realize how ridiculous this is ?

                    You keep talking about democracy while Israel has normalized relation with many autocratic countries. The Jordan you criticize are intercepting missiles for Israel have some self respect and stop being ungrateful
