Why do so many People Hate Zionism?

I don't get it. So you don't think the term Jews denotes an ethnic, racial or even genetic group? So how are we sure that people who were labeled or call themselves Jewish human beings are related to the people who owned the land 2000 years ago? Perhaps as Shlomo Sand postulated the Palestinians are the likely descendants of the original Hebrews. Without an ethnic or genetic characterization its doubly insane to say yes random cultural Jewish people you should immigrate there because your culture told you its yours from 2000 years ago though you weren't even related to the region since really its just a culture with no ethnic connotation. Finally the Rabbis who control Aliyah certainly don't agree with you on the non-ethnic characterization of the terms Jews.

I guess we agree then. Israel should give up Judaism and Jewishness as important categories in civic life and just call themselves secular atheists -- and allow Arab secular atheists to join them in their safe haven away from the Abrahamics all around them.
