What is Anti-Zionism?

Zionism is the action, process and movement supporting a little socialist ethnocracy and burgeoning theocracy first officially recogzined as a legitimate state by the Soviet Union in 1947.

Although governed from Tel Aviv, its national story is centered on the city of Jerusalem.  And in the name of the Holocaust and Judeo civilization itself, Zionism seeks to rebuild Solomon's Temple and reinstitute animal sacrifice, as some extremists calling themselves the Sanhedrin now claim.

Zionism is about helping the State of Israel, led by an irridentist right wing Likud party, to grow and acquire primacy in a land area termed Greater Israel, which includes everything King Solomon ruled, most of the Middle East in scope.

But most of all, Zionism is about Messianic longing.  All this work of building the temple and pacifying the land of non-Jews, is all ultimately the ground work for something much bigger, global in fact in aspirations.  It is about one man who will step forward to rule the world from Jerusalem, and rule it with a rod of iron.

Historically, archaic Zionist aspirations of a similar sort motivated the First Crusade, to put a king who was allegedly the 'seed of David' back on the throne in Jerusalem.

Zionism is Antichrist.

Anti-Zionism is the combined set of principles and actions which oppose that systematic ambition.

Anti-Zionism is always about being in a tiny minority
