Zionism
From Metapedia
Zionism is an Jewish ideology that supports the existence of a Jewish homeland in the middle east, as well as supporting the spread of Jewish influence in the world. This cause found its realization in the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 after the end of British rule, realizing the promises of the Balfour declaration.
[edit] Opposition to Zionism
The Palestinians who have lost their homes in the creation of Israel are among those opposed to its existence. Among Jews, the orthodox Neturei Karta group opposes Zionism as blasphemy. Zionism was formerly opposed by some powerful Jews who feared that the creation of a Jewish state would cause them to lose their power and influence (such as ownership of newspapers and real estate), as such control could not be exercised if all the Jews migrated to Israel. Opposition also comes from some anti-racists, who oppose Zionism's promotion of Jewish racial identity.
