Zionism was originally a tendency of the Left, a subset of the socialist movement inspired by Marx, the German Social Democracy, and the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party of Lenin's time.
"As such, it was egalitarian, internationalist, and its militants were convinced that with the onset of true socialism, all racial and religious strife would automatically disappear along with capitalism, the nuclear family, and bourgeois individualism.
"It was only later that the right-wing 'revisionist school, embodied by today's Likud party, arose
amid the realities of the Zionist project.
"For the onset of Israeli socialism did not give rise to the idyllic commune envisioned by Zionists of the Left, but to an increasingly militarized and expansionist society that turned the Palestinians into an inferior caste. Labor Zionism created the supreme irony: Israeli national socialism."
Currently, those "realities of the Zionist project" seem to require the transfer of most of the indigenous population of Palestine to refugee camps beyond the borders of Greater Israel, if such borders have yet been determined.
