Before I start, I just want to express that I very much appreciate this entire board. You all kept me sane and helped me tremendously throughout the Biden "administration", and gave me tons of hope and patience for what's to come, and that patience is finally going to pay off now that Trump has been elected for the third time by We The People.

That being said, I have noticed one area in which a large number of posts/comments on here have said things that are completely and totally wrong, wrong on account of both my personal experiences, and the experiences of my entire family. Which leads me to my main question:

Can you actually define what Zionism is?

I'm asking this, because I am a religious Jew, and I keep seeing people everywhere refer to Zionism as some sort of evil cult. From the left, Zionism is viewed as a genocidal imperialistic movement that wants to kill innocent Palestinians just for existing. On the alt-right, Zionism is viewed as a shadowy Jewish supremacist movement that creates and controls all of the worlds' problems.

To us religious Jews, the ones who actually believe in Zionism, it means one thing, and one thing only: the right to have our biblical homeland. That quite literally is it. Nothing more, nothing less. And that is all that I ever hear from Jews everywhere when they discuss the pro-Palestinian protests and riots. We literally just want to be allowed to have the land we were given in the Bible/Torah, and there's a bunch of radical Islamic terrorists who utterly reject that, and are doing everything in their power to stop it from being the case.

That being said, is there a deep state presence in Israel? I wouldn't be surprised one bit, considering October 7th even happened to begin with. It's been far too long of a struggle to get hostages back, with a noticeably delayed military response to do anything substantial, and the security breach itself on that day should not have happened whatsoever. And then the fact that governments/media around the world got heavily involved and are actively funding both sides? It just reeks of corruption. But that does not mean that the majority of Israel is evil, or that the concept of Israel existing is itself evil. We're just being held hostage by deep state bureaucrats equally as much as any other country is. I pray that that changes soon, for all of us, everywhere in the world.

I just don't understand where the anti-Zionist movement comes from, at least when it comes to places like this where people actually do their research. You know all those big celebrities/politicians/CEOs who just "happen" to be born into a Jewish household, and then become satanic and horrible when they attain their positions? That seems to be where the research ends with most people. But here's the thing: If they adhered to Judaism, they wouldn't be depraved lunatics.

The main thing about our religion is that it has a gigantic amount of rules. The Sabbath has a ton of restrictions to ensure that it truly is a day of rest, we need to eat Kosher food at all times, wear Tzitzit on any 4 cornered garment, etc. But the "elite" hate following rules, and therefore reject the religion. It's an age-old problem, just read the Book of Prophets. But all of these rules have a major purpose. They were designed by God to have the Israelites "not wander after your hearts and after your eyes" (Numbers 15:39)

If these scumbag elitists didn't completely and totally reject the religion a lot of them grew up with, we likely wouldn't have these problems. Just like leftists love to think they know what those "evil fascist" Republicans think, I feel like the same prejudice exists when people start talking about Zionism and Jews. The so-called "elite" are not our friends either. They need to be dismantled and severely punished for all they have wrought on our world. A large chunk of my family proudly voted for Trump, as did I, and we are on your side in this spiritual war.

I mainly just wanted to vent about this, and hopefully get through to some of those who hold incorrect perspectives on us.

Thank you for reading, and I hope we can discuss any thoughts you have, whether about Judaism, Zionism, my personal views, or otherwise.

It's almost like the world is continuously being shown terrible instances of corruption in every industry to get us to wake up. The general focus on which industry specifically to focus on keeps shifting every few weeks, but we are certainly getting a grand tour of the highest levels of corruption in the world. It started out with the politicians being called out, then the media, then Big Tech, then Hollywood, then the so-called "experts" on TV, then Big Pharma, then the election "security", then the legal system, then the economy itself, etc., and I can't tell if that's deliberate by the white hats to wake us up as effectively as possible, or if it's simply watching these evil people systematically overrun more and more of our nation's culture over time. Either way, it's an observation I had while thinking about how insane things have truly gotten everywhere. Just thought I'd share.
