What is a Zionist?

There a re a lot of threads throwing the term Zionist around, could you explain what it is/means?

Re: What is a Zionist?

Zionism is a movement founded by Theodor Herzl in 1896 whose goal is the return of Jews to Eretz Yisrael, or Zion, the Jewish synonym for Jerusalem and the Land of Israel.

    The name of "Zionism" comes from the hill Zion, the hill on which the Temple of Jerusalem was situated.

       Supporters of this movement are called "Zionists".

And the reason the word zionist is “thrown” around to describe the Govt. of Israel and their loyal supporters in Washington:

As far as Zionism is concerned, the founder of Zionism and apostate, Theodor Herzl, sought to intensify hatred of the Jew in order to enhance the cause of political Zionism. Here are some of his “pearls”:*“It is essential that the sufferings of Jews. . . become worse. . . this will assist in realization of our plans. . .I have an excellent idea. . . I shall induce anti-semites to liquidate Jewish wealth. . . The anti-semites will assist us thereby in that they will strengthen the persecution and oppression of Jews. The anti-semites shall be our best friends”. (From his Diary, Part I, pp. 16)**[More can be read at the link below.]

Re: What is a Zionist?

So you refer to all those who support Israels right to exist as Zionists?

Re: What is a Zionist?

No, not all of them. Only those who support and justify Israel's actions against the oppressed and helpless. There are zionists and then there are zionists supporters and sympathizers.

Re: What is a Zionist?

teggy has provided an excellent responce. further to that, today the term should be extended to all those working towards or supporting the greater israel project. the new wave of zionists includes christians who would like to usher in the 'messiah' which cannot happen until greater israel is realised as per their interpretation of their religion


both groups think they can commit the most henious crimes to make greater israel and when the 'messiah' comes it will be on their side!!!!!! the messiah they think will help the evil, those who have followed the path of satan. those who killed innocents standing in their path. killed fellow believers of god and non believers alike. without doubt the followers of this ideoloogy have gone astray. their lord is now the subject of much speculation, indeed many believe they are following satan often refered to as lucifer. indeed on this form the 'messiah' they are waiting for is the anti-christ himself

Re: What is a Zionist?

Exactly ^ the dajjal is who they worship.

Zionists are terrorists.

So do the Muslim terrorists who attack Israel count as the oppressed and helpless in your view? What about the terrorists who attack Israel while hiding behind innocents? Or should the Muslim terrorist be allowed to attack Israel freely while Israel sits back and does nothing? What about those who support Israels right to exist in a secure fashion free from terror attacks, are they zionists?

O really do they worship dajjal ? ........... but dajjal has not come yet.

Re: What is a Zionist?

say a bully picks on a geek, steals his lunch and all that jazz
if the geek throws in a punch or two to protect himself, is he now classified as a bully too?

a simplified example, i know - but its difficult to see who the bully/terror-inflicter is sometimes. i would think the bully would be the 'stronger' person, and the weaker the victim.

in the isreal/palestine issue, who is stronger?

innocent people dying is awful no matter what their creed/religion. whoever kills innocents is a terrorist in my opinion- generally ppl agree. but for some reason it seems like people define 'innocents' = 'non-muslim" these days. i say this because a person kills a muslim, and he's 'fighting the war against terror'. but if a muslim kills a non-muslim, he is a terrorist. the double standard is awful

Totally agrees. It should be both way. Your example is correct and same way if some one blow a bomb and killed innocent people in Israel or any part of the world is also terrorist.

This is just repeating falsehoods that are being used to create "hum mazloom hain" feeling among Pakistanis.

There are millions of Pakistanis living in the West, their mosques are filled to the brim, and educated Pakistanis are doing pretty darn well.

So "hum to Muslim hain" is a sorry excuse at best.

FYI. A criminal is a criminal regardless of his religion. Why do you insist on calling terrorists as Muslims? They may be Islamists because they use Quran and religion to support their version of terror but that's. But they are killed because of their "terrorist actions" and not their "faith" (unless their faith itself is to create terror).

An ordinary peace-loving, global citizen of Muslim faith has no fear to stop him doing good for the fellow human beings.

You have to put proper context to the statements. In general Pakistanis are good and so are Israelis. If on the other hand you add specific context then off course we can issue a verdict on "criminality" based on whatever evidence you want to believe in.

Re: What is a Zionist?

No one is saying look at us mazloom Muslims. jLOne was stating how the western media label the "terrorists." You 'll never hear a Christian terrorist or Jew terrorist, But when a a person who is a Muslim does something, he'll be labeled a Muslim terrorist/Islamist.
