martin : do you disagree that there is a tremendous influence of teh Zionist Jewish lobby in US politcs.
Also Zionism is a very broad, umbrella term. Like the words democracy or communism, it is word without a single concrete meaning, and its use requires clarification. When I write about Zionism , I am talking about its modern, present-day incarnation, which has very little in common with the word s original use---that is, a word used to describe simply the movement among Jews to re-settle in Israel. Rather, I am talking about Zionism as the ideological basis for an imperialist, expansionist State of Israel, embodied by military occupation of the West Bank/Gaza/Golan Heights/Sinai/Southern Lebanon, ethnic cleansing of indigenous peoples, house demolitions, settlement expansion, the torture of political prisoners, and the systematic disruption of Palestinian society.
