Facts are facts. You don't promote "peace" in the region, you promote "anti-zionism", the new phrase for the same old ideology. Who you gonna target to erase "zionism"? Jains? Buddhists? Muslims? Hindus? no, you target jews to erase your "zionism".
If you were FOR "peace" rather than AGAINST "zionism", you'd be coming down as hard on the Palestinians as you are the "zionists".
Not MY bad if I see behind the dishonesty and word-games you're playing.

The problem with criticising Israel is that people will whip out the anti-semite card and quite quickly people stop listening to you. It's a pretty dishonest tactic but it's highly effective. We should be able to criticise Israel without being labelled as anti-semetic but people are rarely able to be even handed, it's easier to believe everyone that dislikes Israels tactics are simply Jew haters.
At the same time there are genuine anti-semites who are absolute scumbags and they are the ones who help foster this situation. We get thrown in the same group as these people.
I won't support any country that bulldozes peoples houses, while claiming they are just doing it to defend their own borders.

Removed Millions of Muslims? Where do you get your information from? Or do you just try and sway people with your ignorance? Try not even a million. And they left on their own accord due to the British Peel plan, which called for voluntary transfer of Arabs, and there was never an official Zionist policy or directive or order calling for mass expulsion of Arabs by force as a general policy. There wasn't even a Palestinian people at the time. The Arabs of Palestine identified themselves variously as Arabs, Syrians, Nabulsi, Qudsi etc. and did not have a concept of Palestinian Arab nationhood or any Palestinian national organizations at that time. I love how people try to distort the facts or just flat out lie to try and further their own agenda's. Oh and what about the neighboring MUSLIM country's who have kept their fellow muslims in refugee camps instead of allowing them to assimilate into their country's? Real brotherhood going on their.
The 1948 Palestinian exodus occurred when approximately 725,000 Palestinian Arabs fled or were expelled from their homes, during the creation of the state of Israel and the civil war that preceded it.
In September 1949, the United Nations Conciliation Commission for Palestine estimated 711,000 Palestinian refugees existed outside Israel,with about one-quarter of the estimated 160,000 Palestinian Arabs remaining in Israel as "internal refugees". Today, Palestinian refugees and their descendants are estimated to number more than 7 million people.

Is peace an objective for anyone in the region?
