Delve into the intricate history of Zionism, a national political ideology rooted in the establishment of a homeland for the Jewish people. Founded in the late 19th century amidst rising anti-Semitism in Europe, Zionism gained traction with support from Western European governments. However, its implementation on Arab land, specifically historic Palestine, sparked controversy and conflict. The Zionist movement aimed to secure maximum territory with minimal Palestinian presence, leading to ethnic cleansing and forced displacement. Despite challenges, the State of Israel was declared in 1948, inviting Jewish immigration worldwide. Critics liken Zionism to colonialism, citing ethnic cleansing and settlement expansion as evidence.
