- Zionism is a nationalism, or collection of related nationalisms, supporting the establishment of a state exclusively for Jews. Conceptions of the nation of Israel is constructed from one or more of the religious, religious-cultural, biological descent and/or historical markers indicating Jewishness. The original secular and social-democratic inspirations of Zionism have been overwhelmed by a revisionist mass movement that is at times religious, racist, militarist and authoritarian. Most of the indigenous Palestinians were driven out of the pre-1967 borders of Israel in a brutal ethnic cleansing to create a Jewish majority state. In 1948-1949 hundreds of villages were destroyed, tens of thousands of people were killed, and millions were made refugees for generations. Millions of Palestinian refugees live in Jordan, Gaza and Lebanon. Israel denies them the right to return to their homeland even while inviting anyone claiming Jewish identity to settle. Zionism is the only foreign nationalism that American politicians can endorse without being challenged as un-patriotic.
- Zionism (Hebrew: ציונות, Tsiyonut) is the international nationalist political movement that originally supported the reestablishment of a homeland for the Jewish people in the Land of Israel (Hebrew: Eretz Yisra'el), the historical homeland of the Jews. Since the establishment of the State of Israel, the Zionist movement continues primarily to support it. Zionism is based on historical ties and religious traditions linking the Jewish people to the Land of Israel. Almost two millennia after the Jewish diaspora, the modern Zionist movement, beginning in the late 19th century, was mainly founded by secular Jews, largely as a response by Ashkenazi Jews to antisemitism and the emancipation across Europe, especially in Russia. It is included in diaspora politics as a broader phenomenon of modern nation liberation movements. Although one of several Jewish political movements offering alternative responses to assimilation and antisemitism, Zionism grew rapidly and became the dominant force among Jewish political movements. The political movement was formally established by the Austro-Hungarian journalist Theodor Herzl in the late 19th century following the publication of his book Der Judenstaat. The movement seeks to encourage Jewish migration to the "Land of Israel" and was eventually successful in establishing Israel on 14 May 1948 (5 Iyyar 5708 in the Hebrew calendar), as the homeland for the Jewish people. Its proponents regard its aim as self-determination for the Jewish people. The proportion of world Jewry living in Israel has steadily grown since the movement came into existence. Today roughly 40% of the world's Jews live in Israel. Nearly as many live in the United States (see American Jews).
