I see people misusing the word Zionism frequently, and turning it into things it is not. So I ask this to hear what people think zionism is... And additionally, based upon your own definition, why is it a bad thing?

Edit: This isn't in the Israel/Palestine topic because that topic is off-topic beyond all repair

Zionism - : a policy for establishing and developing a national homeland for Jews in Palestine

I just learned about this is world geography I like the dictionary meaning...

People who are involved in a political movement to establish a homeland for the Jews. Specifically establish it in Israel. Neo-Jewish in a way but really anyone that supports that estblishment of land for the jewish people is zionist. Neo-jewish because in the torah it is written the jews are not to establish a nation. Jewish people do not support the state of Israel. Theese zinoists Focus so much on getting that land and doing whatever it takes to get it they are forgot their roots. zionists are those guys in power in Israel the settlers are Jewish. Many of my friends are jewish and not zionist.
