what is the definition of an zionist?
104092
A Zionist is someone who supports a Jewish homeland in the state of Israel.  The modern movement was founded by Theodor Herzl, although it goes back further than that.  Since the establishment of Israel, a zionist has come to mean someone who supports Israel.  Zionism is a political movement, and is not specific to any religion\n\nSome of the less "upstanding" members of society refer to zionists as Jews in general, specifically the "zionist conspiracy" they believe runs everything.

nope , essentially zionist are killing their own people..\n\noriginally, the land promessed to Israel was so tiny, it is even ridiculous it was a promesse in the first instance..\n\nsee what Israeli archeologist and scientist says about it..\n\nhttp://www.rense.com/general18/bible.htm\n\n\nOf course , it is Ultimately isreali fault, they stoled the land from arabs then called arabs "terrorists"\n\nsee the map..\n\nhttp://lawrenceofcyberia.blogs.com/photos/maps/landloss.html\n\nTell me is this right to create an holocaust of arab by trying to avert an holocaust of jews?\n\n\nAlso zionists are training their kids to kill and to hate.\n\nhttp://lawrenceofcyberia.blogs.com/news/2006/06/toddlers_of_mas.html

A list for the Zionist massacres in Palestine from 1955 to 1994.\n\n\n\n\n74 - "Gaza" Massacre - 5 April 1956\n\nOn 5/4/1956, the Zionist invaders blasted with 120-mm mortars the center of the populated city of Gaza, which also housed a large number of refugees. The enemy artillery also bombarded the villages of "Deir Al-Balah", "Absan" and "Khaza'a". The casualties were 60 martyrs, including 27 women, 29 men and four children, and 93 injured, including 32 women, 53 men and 8 children.(96)\n\n75 - "Gaza" Massacre - 15 April 1956\n\nOn 15/4/1956, the Zionists blasted Gaza Hospital with artillery. The brutal bombardment killed 13 children, 18 women and 31 men, and injured 82, including 26 children, 25 women and 31 men.(97)\n\n76 - "Qalqilya" Massacre - 10 October 1956\n\nQalqilya is a Palestinian Arab town, 16 kilometers southwest of the city of Tulkarm.\n\nThe Massacre: On 10/10/1956, a Zionist force estimated at an infantry battalion and an armored battalion backed by field artillery and ten fighter-planes attacked the town from three directions. The attackers cut the telephone lines and mined some roads. The attack was foiled thanks to the fierce resistance of the town's National Guard and the residents, which astonished the enemy. However, the enemy attackers returned once more following an intensive bombardment, in which fighter-planes took part. The Zionists then entered the town firing haphazardly without distinction. They also blew up some houses over the heads of their occupants. The massacre resulted in 70 martyrs, including many women, children and elderly peop1e.(98)\n\n77 - "Kafr Qassem" Massacre - 29 October 1956\n\nKafr Kassem is a Palestinian Arab village in the district of Tulkarm. It had a population of 1460; its area was 58 donums, and its land area was 12765 donums.\n\nThe Massacre: On 29/10/1956, the day the tripartite aggression started against Egypt, the Zionist officer Shmuel Milinki, a commander of a unit of the 'border guards', was ordered to impose a curfew on some villages, including Kafr Qassem. Milinki informed his officers that the war had started and he explained to them the duties assigned to them, namely to implement the curfew order firmly without any arrests. He told them: "it is desirable to have some of the village inhabitants killed". A detachment of this unit was stationed at the western entrance of the village, while other detachments were deployed around and inside the village.\n\nAt 4.30 PM, the village headman was summoned to be informed about the curfew order to go into effect at 5.00 PM. He was asked to notify the village inhabitants. The headman replied that some of the villagers work in their fields outside the village, and therefore, the half hour left is not enough to pass the word about the curfew. The unit officer gave his word and that of the government to the headman promising safe passage to all the returning villagers.\n\nFew minutes before 5.00 PM, the massacre started from the western side of the village (99). In other words, the massacre started prior to sunset and continued for over seven hours until half hour after midnight. Lieutenant 'Gabriel Dahan' had ordered his men to open fire in order to kill any person who would be outside his home after 5.00 PM, with no distinction between the men, women or children returning to their villages. Killing started in batches. The soldiers ordered the villagers to stand in one line. Corporal "Shalom Ofer" shouted "Mow them down". Entire families were killed, other villagers were killed on their carts, others while on foot. The murderers killed 14 women in one lot. Children and old persons were not spared. The toll of the massacre was 49 martyrs (100). Among the children were eleven boys 112 to 16 years old. Two boys were killed while grazing the sheep with one of their relatives. Three girls 12-14 years old w

A Messianic Jew is someone who is an ethnic Jew, they are descendants of Abraham, but who believes in Jesus Christ as savior.  Jew can mean two things.  It can mean someone of the religion of Judaism, or it can describe someone who is of the Jewish ethnicity.

Not necessarily but you'll frequently find people who are both anti-Israel and anti-Jewish. Interestingly, I know some Israeli Jews who are themselves anti-Zionist. It seems clear to me that the most rabid supporters of Zionism are actually American Jews. It's similar to how the most anti-Castro people are Cuban-Americans, not actual Cubans.\n\nThat said, I agree with eliasulmonte's view regarding modern Israel. The Jewish people are absolutely NOT surrendering their homeland, period. They are the ones who transformed Israel from an infertile desert to a prosperous agricultural nation. They deserve our support, especially as they are basically completely surrounded by hostile enemy nations. Ideally, true lasting peace can be achieved with the Palestinians seeking their own homeland. But alas, I don't see this happening anytime soon; indeed, not likely in my lifetime.

Zionism is a political movement and an ideology that supports a Jewish homeland in the Land of Israel, where the Jewish nation originated and where Jewish kingdoms and self-governing states existed at various times in history. While Zionism is based heavily upon religious tradition linking the Jewish people to the Land of Israel, the modern movement was originally secular, beginning largely as a response to rampant antisemitism in late 19th century Europe. After a number of advances and setbacks, and after the Holocaust had destroyed Jewish society in Europe, the Zionist movement culminated in the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.\n\nSince the founding of the State of Israel, the term Zionism has come generally to mean support for Israel. However, a variety of different, and sometimes competing, ideologies that support Israel fit under the general category of Zionism, such as Religious Zionism, Revisionist Zionism, and Labour Zionism. Thus, the term is also sometimes used to refer specifically to the programs of these ideologies, such as efforts to encourage Jewish immigration to Israel. The term Zionism is also sometimes used retroactively to describe the millennia-old Biblical connection between the Jewish people and the Land of Israel, which existed long before the birth of the modern Zionist movement. In some cases, the label "Zionist" is also used improperly as a euphemism for Jews in general by those wishing to white-wash anti-Semitism (as in the Polish anti-Zionist campaign).\n\nThis article is intended to be a survey of the history and objectives of the Zionist movement, not as a history of Israel nor of the Arab-Israeli conflict. The history of the various forms of opposition to Zionism is discussed in the article Anti-Zionism.\n\nThe desire of Jews to return to their ancestral homeland has remained a universal Jewish theme ever since the defeat of the Great Jewish Revolt, and the destruction of Jerusalem by the Roman Empire in the year 70, the defeat of Bar Kochba's revolt in 135 CE, and the dispersal of the Jews to other parts of the Empire that followed. Due to the disastrous results of the revolt, what was once a human driven movement towards regaining national sovereignty based on religious inspiration, over centuries tradition and broken hopes of one "false messiah" after another took much of the human element out of messianic deliverance and put it all in the hands of God. Although Jewish nationalism in ancient times have always taken on religious connotations, from the Maccabean Revolt to the various Jewish revolts during Roman rule, and even during the Medieval period when intermittently national hopes were incarnated in the "false messianism" of Shabbatai Zvi, among other less known messianists, it was not until the rise of ideological and political Zionism and its renewed belief in human based action toward Jewish national aspiration, did the notion of returning to the homeland become widespread among the Jewish consciousness.\n\nThe Haskala of Jews in European countries in the 18th and 19th centuries following the French Revolution, and the spread of western liberal ideas among a section of newly emancipated Jews, created for the first time a class of secular Jews, who absorbed the prevailing ideas of rationalism, romanticism and, most importantly, nationalism. Jews who had abandoned Judaism, at least in its traditional forms, began to develop a new Jewish identity, as a "nation" in the European sense. They were inspired by various national struggles, such as those for German and Italian unification, and for Polish and Hungarian independence. If Italians and Poles were entitled to a homeland, they asked, why were Jews not so entitled?\n\nBefore the 1890s there had already been attempts to settle Jews in Palestine, which was in the 19th century a part of the Ottoman Empire, inhabited (in 1890) by about 520,000 people, mostly Muslim and Christian Arabs

The best way to learn about "Israel" is to check the following website "http://www.intifada.com/"\n\nYou will be introduced to how "Israel" occupies an entire Arab country called Palestine and how it likes to treat the people it occupies. \n\nYou be the judge.\n\nP.S. To the person who responded after me. It seams you've been indoctrinated by Zionist ideology, to say that Arabs occupied Gaza and the West bank is like saying the Jews Killed Hitler, that's such a racist remark i can't believe you said it. Ofcourse the Palestinians have been there for thousands of years Even Ariel Sharon, Israel's Prime Minister is Polish and not Israeli, he came as an immigrant from polland and so did many other Israeli Prime Ministers and leaders. It's not a religious war, Muslims and Christians are both fighting the Jewish Fundamentalist Terrorists for thier country's Independence, the Independence of Palestine, Two days ago, a Jewish Terrorist and His Terrorist wife tried to blow up a Church in Nazareth, don't try to hide that away from us, we get the news. Ever heard of www.pacifica.org ? Well check out it, you will thank me for showing you the light of truth for once in this short decietful life. Shame on you for defaming the Palestinians like that, it's a true shame that you would deny a people from thier country and give it to some people who think they were "Chosen" and given a "Promised Land" I mean, for God's sake, that's blasphemy. God would never promise a land to people who go around bombing the original inhabitants. God is just and full of light, he is not a Zionist god, He is the All-Just Creator of the Earth and Heavens, the King, the Owner, The Lord, The Just, the All Capable, and the Mericful, the God of All Creation.

The "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" have been (again and again) proven to be anti-semitic propaganda but it seems that those who want to believe just won't accept it. \nIf you want to read about the background and a variety of debunkings, the site linked gives a great many links to excellent sites that will enlightend you with the truth.

I do like them and they are used throughout the net. I especially like the Zionism=Naziism because that bares more truth than anyone wants to acknowledge.\n\n Seems to me that you are ahead of the game considering that you have observed that "NAZIISM" in fact has grown out of Zionsim which only serves the Zionist interest and creates a reason to lend sympathy for these repulsive lying people.\n\n It takes a great deal of insight and intelligence to know that Naziism is the creation of Zionist and not the German people. I bet most people don't even know that Hitlers entire army was Jewish? Thats a fact! Do a search on  "Hitlers Jewish Army" and you will find that it was the Jews alone who allegedly committed the so-called holocaust acts. Well , they fabricated most of them in order that people out of guilt would not question Zionism .\n\n  What will happen whem people realize that Naziism is of  the Zionist? Will when then have to pay reparations to the Germans for alienating them and accusing them of the holocaust myth? \n\n I have nothing but praise for the young today as most of them are beginning to understand the truth and are searching it out and revealing the myths that have been perpetrated upon America and Germany. our young are our future and I prey  you continual to thirst for the truth and reveal it to all and never back down. The truth must be know and it seems you know a little more of it than most do. Keep up the good wook...... i agree with you wholeheartedly.\n\nMatt : Yes I do ! Goto Whatreallyhappened.com and also read Titus 1;3-4 and see that God instructs us to never beleive anything that comes out of the Jews mouth, that the Jews are liars, and perverters of the word of God and will tell myths and fables. We are not to love the enemies of GOD. I hate them because they hate all mankind!\n\nMagicman: Why don't you use some of that magic to conjur up a brain. The state of Israel was created in 1948 after the Jews stole that name and applied it to their little terrorist country. The biblical saying of Those who bless Israel was spoken some 2000 years ago before the tiny state of Israel was stolen and created. The word Israel NEVER means a tiny piece of land that was stolen from its rightful people and will never mean a land at all. Israel means a people which have been dispersed from the so-called holy land never to return, and they, TRUE ISRAEL will never be back in the holy land because GOD will give them a new land and that land was America when it was first inhabited by whites.\n\n  That land was Judea before they stole the name of GODs chosen people and applied it to their stolen land so therfore it will always be Judea in accordance to scripture and will never be Isreal..... only in their dreams! Israel is a people and if you really want to bless Israel then you should start blessing the Anglo Saccsons people ,,,, Thats Saccsons from the tribe of Issac before the word was perverted by those who stole Israels heritage and changed it to SAXON so true Israle could never discover whom they are.\n\n Also Mr bible scholar, the Bible says GOD will leave the name "ISRAEL" as acurse unto those whole stole Israel's heritage and give Israel a new name. So ....according to scripture, anyone calling themselves Israel until Jesus comes back is an imposter and can never be true Israel unless they are under the new name. Do you know what that new name is? If you don't know then you are not a true Christian and you don't know Gods true word!\n\n And BTW the Holocaust is a hoax. The Holocaust is to happen to the Christians never any others. That is why it is yet to happen.

I guess it's sort of a way of saying that an Isrealite's life is more important than several Palestinians and Lebanese lives, or that, excuse me for sounding "anti-Semitic" if I do, that a Jew's life is more important than several Muslim lives.

I would think that Zionists would be more interested in Iran dont you? I think the official gov't slogan in Iran is "Death to Israel" or maybe it was "annihlate the Jews". Was one of those or something similarly insane and backwardassed.\n\nIraq doesn't pose as much threat now.

Interesting. I liked the whole comment about having a lack of tension. I may be wrong, but I think the guy's from Iran. Don't they kind of have a habit of ignoring the international community and causing just a wee bit of tension on the rest of the PLANET? Besides, he underestimates the intellect of the American people; we are perfectly used to political rhetoric trying to play our emotions off of current events so that we form a favorable opinion to their cause(in this case namely "destroying the Zionist Jews") I hope he doesn't plan his reelection on it. Oh ya, if he gets thrown out, he'll just kill who he has to in order to get back.

lieberal?\n\nLiberal.\n\nAnd ALL Jewish people aren't anything.  Jewish people are individuals.  If you want to know about all of them, ask ALL of them and don't ask us for broad generalizations.

A Zionist is someone who supports the Israeli government on religious and political grounds.\n\nWhy would you assume that they want to destroy America? You're been hanging around too many paranoid conspiracy theorists. Next think you know you'll be telling us the Holocaust didn't happen. Come on, I'm as opposed to war and oppression as the next guy, but it's ridiculous to blame the whole world's problems on a single nation. Besides, the Israeli government has made some positive steps towards establishing peace in the Middle East in the past year. Give them a break and stop being paranoid and xenophobic.

It means advocating an independent state of Israel in ANY language.
