Zionism is the desire, hope and belief for all Jews to return to Israel, the Jewish homeland, which it has been for some 3500 years. The land of Israel isn’t just a mass of dirt. We as Jews are tied to it. It is part of who we are as a people.

Thank you, but I’m not an idiot. I’m well aware that’s how Jews use the word “Zionism.” Unfortunately, the non-Jewish world - and in particular, the media - use it to mean political and military agenda of Israel the country. That’s what I was reacting to, the way the word is used in common discourse.
