      Trying to pass it off as ‘bro they just want a place to have a nation’ is an extremely biased and antiquated perspective.

      Zionism encompasses many beliefs, those of the current Israeli government are revisionist Zionism that are intent on Israel having a much larger area as its homeland - including taking/destroying and colonizing all of the Palestinian territories and invading and taking areas other countries, by force. There is also a lot of overlap with the belief of an ethnostate amongst most popular Israeli Zionist leaders, apartheid policies, and state-run genocide. None of which were stated as initial goals of Zionism ~125 years ago when it began.

      Why the fuck should a religion have a right to a nation state?

      And, more importantly, how are you going to accomplish that without displacing other people already living on the land you have chosen for your colonialist bullshit project?
