Is Israel Unique by Mazin Qumsiyeh

But is Zionism monolithic and is there anything to point out as a positive aspect of it? To my knowledge all branches of political Zionism believed in a “Jewish political sovereignty” defining Judaism not as a religion but a national group in need of separation. Relying on “us here them there” programs necessitated removing natives to have a “comfortable” Jewish majority which by consensus was “set” at 80% (laws are constantly being tweaked to ensure Jerusalem is 70-80% “Jewish”).
