Hi @roleerob, everything's about freedom of speech which is what this site was about, and no longer no thanks to a couple of whales here who are on a mission to destroy that fundamental human right. I did write a post yesterday based on a Malcolm X quote in which I mentioned something about silencing to avoid proper discussion because their idea is flawed.
About Zionism, Judaism, and the so-called state of Israel, that is if I understood your question right, you have to first differentiate between a religion, an ideology or belief, and a race or ethnicity.
A religion, an ideology, or a belief is similar to an opinion, today you have it, tomorrow you might change it or even go 180 degrees opposite it, including religions, today someone is a Jew, tomorrow he might convert to Christianity, for instance, or like in the case of Ivanka Trump, she's a Christian German who converted to Judaism to follow the religion of her husband, who happens to be also a Zionist.
That's something not applicable to the case of race and ethnicity, if you're a Western European, you're a Western European, you can't change that to become an Asian; if you're a Chinese, you cannot change your race to become an Indian. However, if you're a Chinese Buddhist, you can convert to Hinduism and so on.
Here comes the Zionists claiming they're Semites just because they're Jews. To be a Semite it means you're from the land of the Levant, those are the descendants of the children of Sam the son of Noah, who wasn't a Jew by any stretch, he died thousands of years before Moses was born.
The Levant in Arabic, and in some other languages is also called Belad Al Sham, the lands of Sham and in the old language, S and Sh were interchangeable, if you're familiar with the Arabic letters you'll see there are the three dots on top of the letter S in Arabic to make it sound like an Sh: س and ش. Those markers in Arabic were introduced in the 7th century AD.
'Belad' in Arabic and the old languages of the region means 'the lands of' or 'the countries,' it's the plural for Balad: town or country. Arab representatives at the United Nations when referring to their countries in their speeches say Beladi, my country.
Judaism was introduced by Moses after he brought the children of Jacob aka Israel from Egypt to the holy lands, ie Palestine. Before that, he was following the teachings without calling it Judaism.
There's a large Arab Jewish population, and some of them are still in current-day Syria, they call themselves Syrian Jews, if they go to Palestine, will they become Palestinians or Israelis?
Similarly, the Iranian Jews, and there are plenty, the Yemeni Jews, and East African Jews aka Falasha. Are they all from the Levant? What about the Central Asian, Russian, and Ukrainian Jews, are they from the Levant? They just converted to Judaism based on what they believed in at that time, similar to when the Europeans invaded the Americas and turned whose left of its indigenous people into Christianity, are those now after converting to Christianity entitled to a land in the Vatican or Palestine?
What about the Palestinian Jews? Should they now be expelled into the diaspora because they're Palestinians and get replaced by Jews from Brooklyn or remain in 'Israel' because they're Jews?
My point is their foundation is flawed at the core, and guess who is not buying it for religion and for ethnic reasons? The learned Jews protesting against Israel, religiously they are prohibited from creating a state for themselves because God promised them to exterminate their state each time they do so, as per the Torah, and logically because they understand the difference between religion and ethnicity.
In the above post, there are 2 links to posts on my site Syria News, the first post is an intro about a book written by a prominent American Jewish writer in which she introduced her book on Political Zionism, and in the post from the second link there's a video at the end showing a Jewish convention in New York of 20,000 learned Jews who explicitly and vocally condemn the very existence of the state of Israel based on the teachings of their religion as mentioned in the Torah.
If you want more about prominent Jews denouncing Israel, you can check the Twitter account of https://twitter.com/TorahJudaism.
And if you want to understand why Israel was created and used, all you need to do is search for the Balfour Declaration, also mentioned in the first link above, and carried on by the USA which Joe Biden, when he was heading the Senate committee for foreign affairs explains in a speech in Congress:
I hope I answered your question, as I said, that's what I understood it was. However, also check this reply after a couple of days, before the 7th day, it would be downvoted by the whales destroying free speech on this platform.
