For those of you who may be confused about what Zionism is (because there are people actively trying to confuse you):
“Zionism is an ethnocultural nationalist movement that emerged in late 19th-century Europe to establish and support a Jewish homeland through the colonization of Palestine, a region corresponding to the Land of Israel in Judaism and central to Jewish history. Zionists wanted to create a Jewish state in Palestine with as much land, as many Jews, and as few Palestinian Arabs as possible.”

Zionism is what’s behind Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people and, needless to say, not all Jews are Zionists. In fact, to say that all Jews are Zionists is antisemitic as you’re literally stating that to be Jewish is to be complicit in genocide.
