JOE BIDEN SAID THAT HE IS A ZIONIST ...... THAT'S NICE.

THE FOLLOWING ARE IMPARTIAL FACTS. THIS POST DOES NOT PROPOSE TO GIVE ANY OPINION OR CRITIQUE ON ZIONISM, JUDAISM OR POLITICS IN GENERAL. I OFFER TWO SHORT VIDEO CLIPS AND A CHART.

FIRST, FROM 2013, A FEW WORDS FROM JOE BIDEN ...... 

SO THEN, WHAT IS ZIONISM?
THIS CLIP FROM AL JAZEERA EXPLAINS.
BUT, TO GIVE CONTEXT, I REMIND READERS THAT NOT ALL JEWS ARE ZIONISTS.
ZIONISTS ARE NATIONALISTS WHO BELIEVE IN A HOMELAND FOR JEWS, HOWEVER MANY JEWS ON THE POLITICAL LEFT BELIEVE THAT GOD DISPLACED THEM FROM ISRAEL AND THAT THEY SHOULD REMAIN THAT WAY [THE DIASPORA JEWS].

FINALLY, HERE IS A CHART BASED ON PEW RESEARCH.
I MAKE NO COMMENT OR IMPLICATION ABOUT PEW'S RESEARCH.
READERS CAN MAKE OF IT WHAT THEY WILL.

 

OH, BEFORE I GO, HERE IS A LITTLE TAKE-AWAY ON UNCLE JOE. IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PERSON WHO WOULD BE PRESIDENT.
