When approached by a student who attacked Zionism, Martin Luther King responded: "When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You're talking anti-Semitism."

That comes from MLK. Pay attention here.

>>How about the right to expand and the Jewish settlements on the Palestinian and other neighbor’s lands, which the Zionists have been doing for decades?<<

Wrong. that is not Zionism.

My personal belief is that there should be no expansion of settlements, as many Israelis also believe. Many Israelis do not like the settlements because it sends their soldiers to guard a few people and subject them to attack. I think the people who go out and form new settlements are nuts. They subject themselves and their children to attack. That is my belief. I also wish the Palestinians to have a state of their own as quickly as possible. Maybe then this suicide bomber nonsense will stop. However, if a state is formed and bombings continue, Israel has every right to go in a wipe them out in a full fledged war regardless of the consequences.

I also believe Israel has no responsibility to employ the Pals. Let them build their own economy and build up their country so they can maintain an independent economic status and educate their people for higher goals than sending kids off with bombs. Maybe Arafat can use some of the billions he has stolen for his own people for a change.

So, if the above represents what you think are Zionist beliefs, then call me a Zionist. I have no issue with that.
