"Zionism" goes back a long way.
It has spread its factions all across Europe, Russia, the UK, and America, and (for all I know) almost everywhere else.
But what is it? Where did it come from, how did it prove so resilient that it now seems de facto to rule much of the world?
Why did we in England have a big hand in creating the State of Israel, and therefore everything else that flowed from that decision? No doubt the effects of WW2 on the Empire had something to do with it, but Zionists didn't waste much time in encouraging the British to leave by bombing the King David Hotel, in the lead up to the establishment of the State of Israel two years later.
But perhaps we just happened to be in the wrong place at he wrong time.
Nevertheless we cannot help but notice that Tommy Robinson hosted a group of Maoris on stage in central London recently, not only to dance a Haka, but also to tear up a Palestinian flag, which seems unnecessary and irrelevant, given that most English men and women (and I suspect Maoris!) are by nature very tolerant and vastly more concerned with domestic issues than Israel's problems overseas. It seems inconceivable that most attendees at that historically massive rally were motivated by the feud between Israel and "Hamas" (which seems to be costing the lives of uncountable women and children) rather than the increasingly unaccountable activities of our own UK government.
Yes, as always, it's much more complicated than we might suppose, and I claim no knowledge of the intricacies of the Zionist cause(s), but another more knowledgeable than I does provide at least a flavour of the historical connections.
I certainly cannot vouch for any of it, but I suggest that it does illustrate some of the complex history that led up to today's situation.
