Thank you for this article. I am trying to gain an understanding of middle-east issues, and found this helpful. Very complicated. One concept I am trying to understand is the difference (or correlation) between Zionism and Judaism. In your article, you said:
"If you went on a time machine to the late nineteenth century, then you could say that you were anti-Zionist without being genocidal because back at that time, Zionism was still mostly an idea."
Would you kindly elaborate on what was the idea of Zionism in the late nineteenth century? Or, alternatively, point me to articles (yours or others) that might help to explain the concepts. Thanks in advance.
