"Too many Palestinians are imprisoned in Israel today. This is done in the name of Zionism."

Not sure in what sense the term "Zionism" is being used here; or in this thread generally.

"Zionism" was the name of an idealistic/political movement among world Jewry, from late C19 up to the declaration of the state of Israel in 1948, dedicated to the establishment of a Jewish State in the territory of the ancient Mount Zion and the land of which it formed the symbolic centre, known at the time generally as Palestine. With the 1948 establishment of the state of Israel, the term, and the movement it designated, became a dead letter as its purposes had been fulfilled.

It seems now to have been resuscitated as a synonym for the accusations of militant territorialism on Israel's part which have been rubricated by such authorities as the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (now Fundamental Rights Agency), as a mask and cover for antisemitism, plain & simple. I have already pointed out to Jim the unwisdom of using the term, which he has accordingly forsworn; and would draw the possible ideological and other misunderstandings, liable to arise due to the using this obsolete but emotively used term, to the attention of Stringsinger & others.
