Sixties Fan states:
Zionism : a movement for (originally) the re-establishment and (now) the development and protection of a Jewish nation in what is now Israel.

“It did not end when the state was declared”

The above is an interesting choice of words. Just keep in mind that in 1947ad marked the first time in recorded history that the term “Israel” was used as a place instead of as a person.

“Israel” was a person, not a place. Claiming otherwise is just a lie

Zionism: an international movement to oppose the forces arrayed against the Jewish state, something both meaningful and useful – even essential.

Which creates an excuse to openly murder which history has shown to be one of their true attributes.

It did not end when the state was declared; thanks to our enemies, Zionism is a continuing struggle.

.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,To find new ways to excuse the wanton lying, stealing, and murdering.
