At the heart of Zionism should be two ideas:
1) Maintaining the Israel/Palesine land, even if shared, as a safe haven for Jews over the world and
2) Being able to assist Jews in returning to their ancestral and spiritual homeland
These two ideas can exist without seeking to displace or have sovereignty over Palestinians.

I disagree fundamentally, zionism is simpler then that, the jews have a right to a national homeland in their ancestral homeland in israel.
ReplyDeletethe rest is ethical concerns, and are not the focal point. dont get me wrong, i want my homeland to be an ethical place, but that isnt the point or the heart of zionism...
