To be fair to the Zionists of that period, if some of the planet's major forces had just tried to wipe me out completely, I'd also be radicalised and fight to create a little space for myself to be safe in.
Despite what many anti-Zionists say, I don't think the founding of Israel had to do with Jewish supremacism or religious zealotry nearly as much as "ok, we really need a country for ourselves, to survive."
