Zionism

Zionism is committed to the belief that it is a good idea to establish,
in the country of Palestine, a sovereign Jewish state that attempts to
guarantee, both in law and practice, a demographic majority of ethnic
Jews in the territories under its control.
Uri Davis - Apartheid Israel, Possibilities for the Struggle Within



"We must expropriate gently the private property on the state
assigned to us. We shall try to spirit the penniless population across the
border by procuring employment for it in the transit countries, while
denying employment in our country… the process of expropriation and

The Roots of Hatred in the Zionist Ideology
In 1939 Europe turned a blind eye to the rise of Nazism. The British foreign minister Neville Chamberlain believed that a policy of appeasement would work with Hitler; it did not. Hitler attacked Poland, giving the world a costly lesson - a policy of appeasement does not work with fascism. The outcome is well known: Europe was ruined and around 50 million lost their lives. Yet thanks to the Norwegian "home front" resistance, Hitler was deprived of the heavy water needed for manufacturing the nuclear bomb; had he acquired enough material to do so, the history of humanity might have been dramatically different to that which we know.
