For those wanting to delve deeper into pre-1948 Zionism and anti-Zionism, focusing primarily on the United States, I very much recommend "Against Our Better Judgment: The Hidden History of How the US Was Used to Create Israel," by Alison Weir. She's the creator of the website "If Americans Knew." I recently read her book and it inspired my latest article.
You guys are all nuts. Israel was established because trying to assimilate into cultures really didn't work our so well, did it? And is it going super well today? Let's revisit the chants and how businesses in New York City won't serve Jews. Not in the 40's but today. Yes, arguments can be made that "zionism" in the form of Jews wanting their own state, existed before that time but so what? The Jews have existed as a people for thousands of years which directly sets them apart from the Palestinians and why wouldn't they want their own nation? Does that mean that everything they do is right? Not by a long shot. But what's your solution? You take away the nation state of Israel and then what? Give it to whom? Palestinians? The discussion is yelling at the wind. It's a waste of effort, time, and energy. How about figuring out how to make the most of it? How about course corrections to improve the future? That would be time much better spent.
Thanks for this article. It is illuminating in present day darkness of totalitarism unfolding worldwide, with the genocidal state of Israel in the midst of it. the beast out of the earth of Revelation 13. See more on EndtimeSoon.
Perhaps we should stop using "antisemitism" in reference to those who identify as Jewish. The Ashkenazim who founded the state of Israel are not Semites. Their ancestry, for the most part, seems to be Slavic and Turkic, and the language they spoke was Yiddish.
According to Eran Elhaik, an Israeli-American geneticist who specializes in ancient DNA, the closest living descendents of ancient Hebrews are the Palestinians who are currently being massacred by the Israeli government.

Thank you for going into such detail about Zionism before 1948. I knew that it started way early but did not have all the details.
Just like the opposition against Trump has to come from the GOP and MAGA, the movement against Zionism has to come from Jews.
EXCELLENT article!
Thank you, Wendy, nice to hear you found value in it.
The original “victim mentality” creators.
Great work
