Manchester Saturday: Zionism is the ideological belief that Israel should have a homeland by ethnically cleansing Palestinians from Palestine. They stole a whole country in 1948, violently and brutally stole 79% of the land to create Israel, then in the decades since occupied and forced out as many Palestinians as they could from the last part of the land remaining in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Zionism is what zionism does. Ask yourself one question. What does Zionism mean to the Palestinians living in Palestine? The answer is the last episode of Zionism - the abominable genocide in Gaza, destroying 90% of the houses and schools, bombing all 36 hospitals in Gaza, murdering over 1000 medics, and killing over 20,000 children, with many more tens of thousands left under the rubble. Zionism can only be described as what it is in practice - Israel's ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Palestinian people and shame on all those here in Britain who turn their backs on the Palestinians and pretend it was ever anything else.
