Zionism

Political Rhetoric, 1890

Something suspicious and nationalistic both sets of extremists believe TheJews™ are up to. Favourite cause of intellectual™ people, because, Palestine.

“Zion” is a Hebrew translation for Jerusalem. The first use of the term is attributed to the Austrian Nathan Birnbaum, founder of the Kadimah nationalist Jewish students’ movement; he used the term in 1890 in his journal “Selbstemanzipation!”. “New” Anti-Semitism arose in 1967 after the Six-Day War. The Right hates TheJews_™_ because they control the financial system (or something), but the Left hate “them” because “they” apparently are a bunch of capitalist nationalists ruining the multicultural dream. The anti-Semitism problem on the has been out of control since Marx’s days.
