I have seen on Daily Kos many people argue that there was a 'Nakba' on May 14, 1948, whereby innocent Palestinians had to flee from the evil Zionist invaders. In order to address this notion, it first is necessary to examine whether there ever was a 'Palestine,' where this 'Palestinian ethnicity' came from, and who the Palestinian leadership was in 1948.

I am a liberal Zionist American and member of the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party is now being labelled as increasingly unfriendly to Israel. So I have a question...how many on here are Zionists? By Zionist I mean simply someone who believes in a Jewish State in Israel, according to any boundaries.

EDIT: I mean an Israel according to UN 1947 boundaries, 1948 boundaries, some form of boundaries being discussed in Annapolis, or a Jewish state according to present boundaries.

So in short, I am asking whether you believe in a Jewish state of Israel, be it on land smaller than what Israel occupies now, or not.

No, I do not believe Jews have a right to a state in Israel (it should be some form of one state solution/right of return)
