AAJ "Ask A Jew" Wednesday

It's everyone's favorite day of the week, "Ask A (Anti-Zionist) Jew" Wednesday! Ask whatever you want to know, within the sub rules, notably that this is not a debate sub and do not import drama from other subreddits. That aside, have fun! We love to dialogue with our non-Jewish siblings.

Please remember to pick an appropriate user-flair in order to participate! Thanks!

What's your definition of zionism? I often see the statement that zionism just means "jews deserve to be safe and have autonomy in their homeland", but I think that's too vague a term. I and most people who are educated on Palestinian liberation define it as support for the modern state of Israel, or the belief that there should be a modern nation state in historic Israel.

The political project to establish a colonial "homeland for the Jewish race" in historical Palestine.
