Explained in plain English

Why is Zionism so divisive?

Zionism, the movement for Jewish self-determination and the development of a Jewish state in the historical Land of Israel, has become a deeply contentious issue. While many see it as a legitimate expression of national identity, others view it as a colonial project or inherently discriminatory, especially in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This division often sparks intense debate within political parties.
