First off, let me say that I really appreciate your comment. Thank you!
I agree with every single sentence in your above paragraph. Obviously, you have a good grasp on history - and everything you say is an accurate analysis (IMHO) and can be corroborated by facts.
Here is my definition of Zionism:
Zionism is a political movement hatched in the 19th century, inspired by European ethnic-nationlist & colonial movements of the time. These movements believed that every “nationality” must have a defined territory for its own exclusive use. So the Zionists decided that Jews everywhere were not actually nationals of their countries, but rather an entirely different national group who could never truly become French, English, or any other nationality. Thus, they believed that they should all leave and form their own state in Palestine, displacing the prior inhabitants.
Yes - I know - they did try - and that is the tragedy - that all these Western countries that profess to care about human rights, freedom, democracy, etc. are the worst offenders of these ideals.
These Western countries, along with Jewish personalities such as Theodor Herzl, Leon Pinsker, etc. and later on British personalities such as Arthur Balfour, etc. had a vested interest in relocating the Jews to outside Europe.

Ha ha. Jews couldn’t truly become French or German or whatever they tried. History bears this out.
