    Zionism is still a form of nationalism though…and the way they are trying to establish this homeland is not really what I would call reasonable.

      Israel is being unreasonable and bombing kids.
      some of them are zionists, but many zionists are very against bombing innocent people.
      There are frequent huge protests in Israel about this.
      Zionism is not a form of nationalism. It has nothing to do with other nations or that nation’s superiority… it’s entirely about unifying the jewish people and giving them a homeland… committing genocide is an insane thing and not part of zionism….
      surely it’s a force that helped them get there, but it’s not about that.

        Zionism is an ethnocultural nationalist movement that emerged in late 19th-century Europe.

        Litterally the first sentence on the Wikipedia article.

        Nationalism is not necessarily tied to supremacist way of thinking however, it just often happens to go along with such ideas.
