The Zionist originally saw themselves living very much side by side with the local Arab population, the racism was the other way around. This is obviously a lie, since the Palestinians and Jews coexisted peacefully before the Zionists came along. Furthermore, the creator of Zionism, Theodore Herzl, explicitly wrote about his desires to remove the non-Jewish population from Israel: <<< "We shall try to spirit the penniless population across the border by procuring employment for it in the transit countries whilst denying it any employment in our own country."(2) We can thus see that the means Herzl envisaged to transfer non-Jews out of the Jewish State, was to deny them sources of livelihood in the Jewish State, and find them employment elsewhere. >>> geocities.com Note that this idea came before it was even determined where Zionism would take place: <<< In the above extract, it is noticable that Herzl did not use the words "Palestine" or "Arabs". As can be seen from his book "The Jewish State" (Der Judenstaat) which was also written (or at least drafted) in the summer of 1895, Herzl had not yet decided on the final location of the Jewish State. "Shall we choose Palestine or Argentina?" wrote Herzl, and listed the advantages of each of these two locations.(3) >>> I don't think Arab racism could instigate Zionist racism in Argentina, unless you live in some alternate reality.
