They Say Zionism Is Terrorism—Here’s What They’re Not Telling You

Let’s cut through the garbage. Zionism gets called a lot of things—racist, colonialist, fascist—but the most vile label slapped on it today is “terrorism.” It’s trendy in activist circles and university campuses to chant “Zionism is terrorism” while waving the flag of a terror group that literally puts bombs in baby cribs. The irony? No one seems to notice—or care.
This isn’t just ignorance. It’s blood libel dressed up in progressive clothes. Because if you believe Zionism—the belief that Jews deserve their own homeland—is terrorism, then you believe Jews don’t have the right to live, let alone defend themselves. That’s not politics. That’s hate.
What Zionism Really Is
Zionism isn’t a militia. It isn’t a bomb. It isn’t an ideology of conquest. It’s the Jewish people saying, “We’ve had enough of exile, enough of pogroms, enough of being slaughtered.” Zionism is the national movement to re-establish and protect the Jewish homeland in the land of Israel. Period.
Israel wasn’t built on the corpses of others—it was built in the ashes of the Holocaust and the ruins of Jewish history. Jews didn’t invade; they returned. Jews didn’t occupy; they rebuilt what was already theirs. The same Jerusalem King David made his capital 3,000 years ago? That’s the heart of Zionism.
You want to talk about real colonialism? Start with the Arab empires that took over the Middle East, or the Islamic caliphates that replaced every Jewish temple with mosques. But of course, those aren’t called terrorism. Only Jews reclaiming their own land get that label.
Jews Don’t Need Permission to Exist
Let me be blunt: Israel does not need anyone's approval to exist. Zionism does not need a permission slip from the UN or a university social justice club. Jews have been slaughtered by the millions while waiting for the world to care. Spoiler: it didn’t.
Zionism said, “We’re done asking. We’re coming home.”
To the anti-Israel activists I say: you can cry “colonizer” from your iPhone while enjoying Israeli tech that makes your phone work. You can rant about apartheid while Israeli Arabs serve in the Knesset, the courts, and the army. You can ignore that Jews were ethnically cleansed from Arab countries after 1948—over 850,000 refugees who found shelter in Israel. But none of your screaming changes the truth.
The World Prefers Jews Powerless
For centuries, the Jewish people were seen but not heard—stateless, scattered, and slaughtered. The world mourned us when we were powerless.
But when Jews rose from the ashes, built an army, and said, “Never again,” the sympathy dried up. Now, when we defend ourselves, we’re called “aggressors.” When we survive by our own strength, we’re labeled “oppressors.”
Zionism changed everything. It brought the Jewish people back to life—not just in body, but in dignity. It turned centuries of exile into a nation of builders, farmers, scientists, and soldiers. And that confidence unsettles a world that got used to Jewish weakness.
You want to see what Zionism looks like? It looks like the cherry tomatoes you eat—developed in Israel. It looks like your Waze app, your drip irrigation, your cancer research. It looks like Israeli rescue teams showing up after earthquakes in Turkey and Haiti. It looks like hospitals that treat Palestinian children, even as rockets rain down from Gaza.
Meanwhile, the so-called Palestinian resistance murders babies in kibbutzim, hides behind human shields, and burns aid trucks meant for their own people.
There’s a difference between life and death. Between Zionism and jihad. Between defense and destruction. One builds. The other bombs.
God Promised, and He Delivered
This isn’t just history. It’s prophecy fulfilled.
Ezekiel 36:24 says: “For I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.”
That’s not a metaphor. That happened in 1948, when a nation was born in a day, just like Isaiah 66:8 said it would be.
Zionism is a fulfillment of divine promise, not political theft. If you believe in the Bible, you should be shouting “Amen,” not “From the river to the sea.”
The Real Terrorism Is the Lie Itself
Calling Zionism terrorism is itself an act of ideological terrorism. It erases Jewish suffering. It justifies Jewish murder. It emboldens actual terrorists like Hamas and Hezbollah.
Enough.
Zionism is not terrorism.
It is the survival instinct of a people the world has tried to erase over and over again. And it’s a blessing. For Jews. For Christians. For the Middle East. For the world.
Don’t let the mobs rewrite the story.
Stand with the truth. Stand with life. Stand with Zionism.
