"Zionism is, at the very core, the belief that Jews cannot live in the societies of other people, and instead must live in Eretz Yisrael, in their own separate little enclave in the world. Attendant to this thought is the belief that, simply by being Jews, they have a divinely-granted deed and title to that particular patch of land, regardless of who else happens to have been living there at the time."

1. Why is it Jews felt they couldn't live in the societies of other people and had to seek refuge in a land Jews already lived in continually for thousands of years? Might it have ANY thing to do with the persecution they suffered for thousands of years that eventually led to the Holocaust? Is it so difficult for you to admit there is justice to the zionist cause?

2. You believe Jews felt 60-100 years ago that only they belonged there, it was okay to take/steal land that wasn't theirs, boot out the arabs, and they acted on these beliefs?
