Because the majority of Jews from the Middle East and North Africa were violently expelled from their birth countries, most ended up in Israel and they make up ~55% of Israeli Jews, they’re known as Mizrahim.
Today Israel is the home of the largest community of Mizrahim in the world.
Demolishing a Palestinian school is not Zionism.
Violence against Palestinians is not Zionism.
Oppression of Palestinians is not Zionism.
Zionism is believing in the right of the Jewish people to live in our indigenous homeland…doesn’t everyone deserve at least that much?
