   Zionism is just colonialism justified by a fairy tale book.

     @danjac Thankfully not as reductive as genocide though so I think I can live with it.

     @aral that's kind of reductive. Zionism is a 19th century romantic-nationalist movement that at one time had socialist adherents, not unlike many other European nationalist movements at the time. And yes, like those other 19th C movements, colonialism is part of the package.

     Sure, it's sold to Bible-bashers in the US as a requirement to the Second Coming, but that's pretty recent marketing.
