I asked this in a different thread, but I'll ask here too. How would a liberal or westerner define the term 'Zionism'?

I mean how would a liberal defend that term as not being racist/fascist? The UN once condemned Zionism--it then revoked that resolution years later. When it's pitched to Western audiences, what is meant by it? What is the messaging they say? Zionism isn't racism, it's...

Obviously we know what is meant by it--fascism, colonialism, etc. But I'm curious how it's been pitched over the decades.

What does 'pushing them over' even entail though? Wouldn't the US get involved before that happens, given that Israel has nukes?

Msnbc ali velshi from 2 years ago.

This won't be perceived as having gone far enough here (it's msnbc afterall..), but still, it could be useful to show a lib friend or relative to help them realize that this hasn't only just started last week.

“Right now, one goal: Nakba! A Nakba that will overshadow the Nakba of 48. Nakba in Gaza and Nakba to anyone who dares to join!” Ariel Kallner, a member of parliament from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud, wrote on social media after the Hamas attack.

Damage is already done. They also finished with a defense of the IDF not having proof.

yea

But the fact that Israeli officials have not backed up their claim with photographic evidence is not surprising – sharing such graphic imagery would be regarded as deeply insensitive. “Because of the dignity of the dead, we do not speak about how they looked,” said Maj. Nir Dinar, an IDF spokesperson. “It’s a dead baby. Does it matter if it’s burning or decapitation?”
