Re: It more a war of ideologies to me

My point in my OP was that Zionism was not something foisted on the Jewish settlers in Palestine by either British imperialism or European antisemitism, but was itself a racialist European ideology that the settlers brought with them to the land they colonised. The divisions, prejudices and dehumanisation of outsiders characteristic of Zionism are primarily ethnic in character, rather than being straightforwardly religious. Many Israeli Jews are secular but are still regarded as belonging to Israel, and the targets of Zionist violence include Arab Christians, as well as Muslims. I don't see the significance to the emergence of Zionism of either second wave feminism or the worldwide decline of fertility; Zionism preceded both phenomena by many decades.
