Zionism

Zionism is an organisation in which is for Jews and Jewish culture in accommodating them with a Jewish homeland- that of which they conquered and is now the state of Israel.

The founder of the Zionist movement is said to be Theodor Herzi in 1896. Zionism itself was more so introduced in the 19th century when Palestine. Soon after this most leaders of the movement associated the main goal with creating the desired state in Palestine, then an area controlled by the Ottoman Empire.

Since the establishment of the State of Israel, the Zionist movement continues to go forward on behalf of Israel and address threats to its continued existence and security. 

Critics of Zionism view it as colonialist, racist and exceptionalist ideology that led advocates to acts of political violence and terrorism during Mandatory Palestine, followed by the exodus of Palestinians, and the subsequent denial of their human rights.
