Most Zionists have a goal of preserving a Jewish majority for pragmatic reasons - history has shown that it's the only way to ensure the safety of Jews. That's not a supremacist ideology at all.

Moreover, no country is perfect, and we shouldn't have double standards just for Israel. Can you identify any other Middle Eastern country that compares favorably, in terms of diversity and tolerance of all religions and ethnicities?

If I were to say:

'I believe whites need to hold all authority in the United States, and must have a permanent demographic majority (for practical reasons, of course)'

then you might call me a white supremacist. I might reply:

'I'm not a supremacist, we must secure self-determination in order to secure the future of our people.'

You would gently remind me that this is exactly what a supremacist is.

So yes, please, no double standards. Also, the rest of the Middle East is just as bad, no arguments there, but it's beside the point.

Zionists aren't indigenous to Palestine and have no right to that land.
