Since people could not ridecule Judaism after WWII, it was much easyer to demonize the zionist movement.
Zionism:
A Jewish movement that arose in the late 19th century in response to growing anti-Semitism and sought to reestablish a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Modern Zionism is concerned with the support and development of the state of Israel.

I completely support the establishment of a Jewish homeland, and I would have no problem with it, except unless it is another people's land (Palestine). Especially if those people had nothing to do with the holocaust or anti-semitism in Europe. If Germany or Austria, or Europeans feel bad about how they trested Jews in World War 2, they should have given them a homeland in Europe. Why should Palestinians have to bear ethnic cleansing and expulsion, because the Jews experienced Anti-Semitism in Europe?
All anti-semitism and anti-Jewish feelings in the Arab world is a direct result of the Jewish colonization of Palestine.
I, like many Muslim people in the world, do not have a problem with Judaism and believe it to be a divine religion.
I am completely against Zionism because I view it as punishing an innocent people with colonization to establish a Jewish homeland.
Why can't a Jewish homeland be established peacefully, without violence and genocide?
I agree that American and British colonialism was very repressive and eliminated entire populations of people like Native Americans and Aborigines. This does not excuse Israeli colonialism, but actually makes it worse especially in an age where history has shown us the horrors of colonialism.
What do you think of Jews who oppose Zionism? Are they also Anti-Semitic?
