    While Zionism claims to base itself in Judaism it is really more about European antisemitism. Its history begins in the 1800s or so, not over a thousand years ago, among European Jews responding to antisemitism across Europe. Pogroms, apartheid, all kinds of violence. It is more about ethnicity and colonialism than religion.
