At the center of the debate are key changes in the language used to describe Zionism, the movement that called for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in what is now Israel.

The 2023 version of the page framed Zionism as a nationalist movement born in the 19th century that sought to secure Jewish self-determination.

In contrast, the 2024 version of the entry introduces more charged terminology, describing Zionism as an “ethno-cultural nationalist” movement that engaged in “colonization of a land outside of Europe,” with a heightened focus on the resulting conflicts with Palestinian Arabs.

“Zionists wanted to create a Jewish state in Palestine with as much land, as many Jews, and as few Palestinian Arabs as possible,” it reads.

    The jewish and the palestinians have something in common. They were both driven from their home. It’s a shame that coexistence wasn’t the way it went but that’s humans for you… everyone who isn’t one of you is an other, and humans hate others.

    Peace seems to always lose.

      driven from their home.

      Maybe the Zionists should have taken that to the EUROPEANS WHO DID THAT and forced seizure of THEIR land and made THEM compensate; not passed that shit off on palestinians and colonize them who had nothing to do with european judeophobia. equating these two is ridiculous because the Palestinians are resisting against THE VERY PEOPLE WHO TOOK THEIR LAND, rather than going to some other, poorer place, and getting funneled weapons to brutalize and colonize and genocide them. You don’t see Palestinians driving tanks and bombs into Namibian villages and mass murdering them and stealing their land.

      These things are not equal and it takes real liberal ‘enlightened centrist’ brainworms to speak in such vapid vacant platitudes as you are doing. friend your brain needs dewormed.
