I disagree with that. Israel is the refuge of Jews whose only choice is to move there or be killed. Believing that Jews should take a stand in their current homes is not incompatible with Zionism. If Israel existed in the 1930s, as many 6,000,000 Jews would have fled there and still would have been alive.* But I'm certain that if Israel tried to destroy Hitler the Western countries would complain like they cried about the destruction of the Iraqi reactor in 1981. Did anyone thank Israel in 1990 when it became clear that Saddam Hussein was a problem?

Note that I DO NOT believe that Israel was born out of the horrors of the holocaust. That is what irked me most about Obama's Cairo speech. Zionism is nationalism. Israel has as much right to exist as any other nation on Earth. I believe that had it not been for the holocaust, Israel would still have risen in the decolonization era.

*Actually most of them would be dead by now, but you know what I mean.
