Jewish Natinol liberation.
Since when does "liberation" entail subjugating, humiliating, oppressing, massacring, occupying, and dispossesssing millions of indigenous inhabitants?
The Zionist movement at one point was planing on settling in uganda. Zionism is not some anti-arab conspiracy.
The obvious logictics of Zionism, in clear but simple terms, is that you steal a land and murder or displace the population. That is still a work in progress. It has nothing to do with Arabs nor did I suggest it was an "anti-Arab conspiracy." Reading works.
There already is a Jewish majorit in palistine, dumbass.
Are you an idiot? I was speaking in regards to before Israel's conception.
The official goal of Zionism has always been the complete explusion of all Arabs from Israel.
Straight up false.
The bulk of the evidence does not support this belief. The bulk of the evidence shows strongly that the departure by one means or another (read: ethnic cleansing) of the non-Jewish natives of Palestine was considered by most mainstream Zionist political leaders to be a necessary part of the creation of a viable Jewish state.
All one has to do is to read the statements of the Zionist pioneers about Palestine to know this -- the Zionist desire for the alienation and eventual expulsion of the original inhabitants residing in the land designed for a "Jewish state" is no secret.
Earlier in 1895, Theodor Herzl, 'Father of Zionism,' and founder of the World Zionist Organization, wrote in his Diary that:

Let the owners of the immoveable property believe that they are cheating us, selling us things for more than they are worth. But we are not going to sell them anything back."[/b]

In October 1882, Validimir Dubnow, one of the earliest Zionist pioneers in Palestine, wrote to his brother articulating the ultimate goals of the Zionists movement:

In October 1882 Ben-Yehuda and Yehiel Michal Pines, few of the earliest Zionist pioneers in Palestine, wrote describing the indigenous Palestinians, that

In 1937, Zionist pioneer David Ben-Gurion eloquently articulated the Zionist goals regarding population transfer as the following:

With compulsory transfer we [would] have a vast area [for settlement] ....I support compulsory transfer. I don't see anything immoral in it.

In 1936 the Mapai leader David Hacohen explained how Zionist socialism should be for Jews not Arabs, he stated that:
I remember being one of the first of our comrades [of the Ahdut Ha'avodah
to got to London after the first World War. ... There I became a socialist. ... [In Palestine] I had to fight my friends on the issue of Jewish socialism, to defend the fact that I would not accept Arabs in my trade union, the Histadrut; to defend preaching to the housewives that they not buy at [Palestinian] Arab stores, to prevent [Palestinian] Arab workers from getting jobs there. .... To pour kerosene on the [Palestinian] Arab tomatoes; to attack Jewish housewives in the markets and smash the Arab eggs they had bought; to praise to the skies the Keneen Kayemet [Jewish National Fund] that sent Hankin to Beirut to buy land from absentee effendi [landlords] and to throw the fellahin [peasants] off the land-- to buy dozens of dunums-- from an Arab is permitted, but to sell, God forbid, one Jewish dunam to an Arab is prohibited.

Like I said, if you don't believe me go read the work by Zionists yourself. Especially 'Explusion of the Palestinians (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0887282423/qid=1109547238/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/002-0668717-0241605),' which is based on Israel's own declassified government documents.
Zionism is racism. It is an ideology that professes the superiority of one ethnic group over another. If you fail to recognize this then you are willfully ignorant, the fact remains to anyone willing to see it that it is an ideology that allows its followers to think of ethnic cleansing as a moral right.
This attitude continues to this day. From a Haaretz (Israeli daily newspaper) poll which appeared in the paper recently:
More Israeli Jews favor transfer of Palestinians & Israeli Arabs (http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=140196):
Some 46 percent of Israel's Jewish citizens favor transferring Palestinians out of the territories, while 31 percent favor transferring Israeli Arabs out of the country, according to the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies' annual national security public opinion poll.
