There arent many countries where someone is allowed to builfd a ruddy great wall through other people's land no. The idea that that wall is somehow saving lives on either side is frankly laughable. Not just laughable, its illegal in international law and is deemed beyond the pale by everyone except America and main body of the Jewish diaspora. Israel is a powerful nationstate who is imposing their will over a defeated and humiliated people. They have driven palestinians away from their homes into permanent refugee camps and then settled their own people onto the land the palestinians have vacated. When that happens elsewhere in the world ,the rest of the international community including America cry "ethnic cleansing". Only when Israel engages in these activities does America hold up it's hands and say "well how else can they protect themselves?"

And people arent necessarily rejecting Zionism or Israel because it's made up of Jews but because they object to the zionist poltical goals and the manner in which these poltical goals are being achieved.
