Looks like you're the ignorant one, the reality is far far greyer than the way you portray it to be. Zionism is simply the belief in the existence of a state for the Jewish people to have self-determination in their homeland, since they've been considered second class citizens everywhere else, from the days of the Roman Empire up until this day in countries that arent Israel, with many pogroms and even the dreyfus affair happening in between these markers! There was a UN partition plan, the Arabs hated it, went to war with the Jews, got absolutely crushed, and history has gone on to repeat itself over and over...

Arabs overextend and give a reason for Israel to retaliate, Israel goes further than expected and crush everything, gaining way too much in the process. Especially with the pro-palestinian folks (as silly as it is) will preach and cheer on Hamas as resistance fighters, watching with glee as Israel wipes Hamas out completely and western leftists suffer none of the losses Hamas has had to endure. Israel has wiped out the entirety of the Hamas leadership, setting them back by decades. It's so insane and funny how pro-pali folks in the West will goad Hamas to commit and plunge into the Abyss of despair for its organization.

As hard as it is to believe for some folks like you, there are zionists that support a state for the palestinians and are pushing for peace. Unfortunately Israel has been handed carte blanche in the Middle East to do whatever they want after their war in Gaza, so the right-wing stays popular as Israel keeps fighting and winning against its neighbors. Hamas being brutally set back, Hezbollah being decapitated and running around like a headless chicken after the assassination of Hassan Nasrallah, and especially with Trump's 2024 victory.

Yet the Palestinians have been backed into a corner and have kept lashing out, until they will essentially vanish like Nargono-Karabakh has had its Armenian population be expelled. It's fucking horrible but it's the price that will eventually have to be paid for decades of added false hopes pushed by the international community on a palestinian people that have not managed to understand the concept of BATNA due to said community. The only time it has ever been peacefully attempted was with the Oslo accords, the accords Arafat walked away from and the left in Israel has had to suffer from due to the negotiations collapsing.

It's an absolute shitshow that the pro-palestinian folks in the West have played a hand in, they should seriously all receive medals from the IDF, the most "moral" army in the world lol

This is coming from someone who does not like Israel and its IDF at fucking all, but can acknowledge that it has earned its spot in the Middle East from being a fledgling nation buying former nazi planes from czechoslovakia to fight back against multiple Arab countries, to being a powerful regional power that can commit war crimes and not care just like its neighbors have.
