An ideology that was developed in the later half of the 19th century which essentially advocated for all people who were ethnically Jewish to return back to their homeland in Canaan (aka modern day Israel). The whole reason that something like this was created was due to the fact that Jews in Europe and elsewhere were being treated like literal dog shit i.e pogroms, persecution, and later on, wide scale attacks and genocides like the holocaust which intentionally killed almost half of the Jews in the world at the time. And for the record, itâs not like Jews came to Europe for no reason, they were literally expelled from their homeland by the Romans during the destruction of the second temple around 70 AD. A lot of people tend to forget this, but Jew doesnât mean Judaism all the time, the Jewish people are essentially an ethnic group native to modern day Israel. So no, it isnât âJewish nazismâ or other inflammatory terms your local Arab news outlet uses, itâs the Jews coming back home.
Tl;dr: Read the paragraph it takes 1 minute bruh.
Zionism is often misunderstood to be a racist anti-Arab ideology, instead itâs just Jews who are sick and tired of being treated like shit for doing nothing returning to their original home that they never intentionally left in the first place.
