      That…should be a fairly easy thing to look up?

      It is a nationalistic pro-Israel movement that believes that Israel has claims/owns the land that belongs to Palestine. It could be further broken down into just believing that a Jewish state should exist, but it tends to be more closely related to the Israel we know of today. The movement is fundamentally rooted in the subjugation we see of the Palestinian people today.

      Israel likes to try to conflate zionism with being Jewish in general, so that they can handwave away any opposition as being antisemitic and racist. However, notably many Jewish people are themselves not Zionists. Many have been outspoken in support of Palestine in fact. Zionism has nothing really to do with racial identity.
