Anonymous Arab Israeli on Zionism

I never had a problem with Jews.  The Palestinian cause is not about Jews.  There are Palestinian Jews and there are Arab Jews from the Arab world so it was never about Jews.  I think it's about the... exclusionary concept of Zionism, the establishment of a state only for the Jewish people, which I think is unjust, as simple as that.  And I also think it's unjust for Jewish people.  That's perhaps an immediate solution that Europeans saw following the Holocaust, to expel all Jews, which is ironic, right, because when you speak to a German they say, "Yeah, Jews deserve their own state."  No, what they deserve is to live anywhere they want without being politically persecuted or massacred.
