Literally what Zionism means...
We need to stop ignoring these far right religious extremists when they keep telling us who we are.
If saying theyre commiting a years long genocide is "bad" and most of our politicians admit they support by accepting the Zionist label.
We need to realize America isn't the priority for the Zionists. If you say you're a Zionist, it means your mains goal is the expansion of Israel and the removal of the native population.
The term has exists for 50+ years longer than Israel has:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism
Minor-ish pedantry: Zionism has been like this way before the religious right became a significant force within in. To quote (and paraphrase) Ben Gurion, "the best definition for the borders of the state of Israel is 'as far as the Israeli soldier can reach.'" Netanyahu and the modern Israeli religious right aren't any more expansionist than early Zionist leadership, which was very atheist.
I don't have the quote on hand but one of the founders literally admitted to using the bible as an excuse to do what they already wanted to. Which was to get the jews out of europe because a lot of the people behind zionism were super anti-semitic.
Yeah because Israel functions as one of the largest and oldest concentration camps for Jews, that's why Nazis like it so much
