"'Zionism is a rejection of judaism.' Could you explain that?" Perhaps someone could better explain. But I believe, zionism in the beginning (starting in about 1750 - 1800) rejected religion. It argued that judaism kept Jews oppressed. It argued that a jew and judaism were separate, like you could be Italian and not catholic (heaven forbid). Most of the leading founders of Israel had rejected religion and called themselves zionists. "A simple look at numbers will tell you that the aid to Israel is far superior, especially relative to their size - Israel's economy is half the size of Egypt. ... US would never finance an expansion of Egyptian territories, especially if this involved suppression of another people with their tanks & artillery. It is the case in Israel." Not to finance Isreal would lead to its oppression from Arabs. Why don't arabs drop the seemingly never ending hate rhetoric and work toward something other than a desire to destroy Israel. Tell me, how many Arab countries formally accept Israel's right to exist?
