Because of bitter historical experience and a sense of insecurity towards other Jewish groups and currents, Zionists have a sense of inferiority that manifests itself in aggressive, violent and hateful attitudes towards others, especially Palestinians.

Why is there so much hatred in Zionism?

There is a negative opinion about Zionism, because this political movement is distinguished by a high level of hatred. And the reason is the actions that are carried out for the protection of the Jews and the formation of the state of Israel. There are several factors that have instilled hatred among the members of this movement.

 

Internal Racism

One of the reasons for the hatred among Zionists is the internal racism that many of them are subjected to by other Jews. It can be seen as a reaction to anti-Semitism and the long history of discrimination against Jews by other Jews. Because of bitter historical experience and a sense of insecurity towards other Jewish groups and currents, Zionists have a sense of inferiority that manifests itself in aggressive, violent and hateful attitudes towards others, especially Palestinians. It is also expressed in Israel's aggressive policy towards the Palestinians. 

 

Religious Extremism and External Racism

Another reason is the belief in religious and racial superiority. According to the ideology of Zionism, especially its extreme manifestation, the Jews are God's "chosen people" and have the right to rule in Palestine and a part of Western Asia. This ideology led to policies such as the occupation, apartheid, and even crimes against humanity, which intensified the hatred between the Jewish and Zionist communities.
Israel's settlement policy in the occupied Palestinian territories, which has been repeatedly condemned by the United Nations, is an example of a policy whose survival depends on the survival and growth of hatred among the followers of this movement.

 

Propaganda and spread of falsehood

One of the causes of hatred is the falsehood spread by the mass media and Zionist structures. By presenting false and exaggerated information about security threats and Palestinian actions, the regime tries to justify its crimes and the media to increase the number of followers.   
For example, during the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas on Israel, some media outlets published exaggerated and false claims of violence by Hamas, which were later found to be false. 

 

Hatred of the military 

One of the reasons for the hatred among the Zionists is Israel's clashes with the Resistance and military operations against the Palestinians. The military aggression, the killing of civilians, the destruction of homes and infrastructure, and the economic blockade have somehow fueled the hatred that exists among Zionists. 
During the last 7 months of war in Gaza, more than 34 thousand Palestinians, including many civilians, were killed as a result of Israeli attacks, and the vital infrastructure of Gaza was destroyed. It must be recognized that such war crimes can continue if the Zionists support them. And that's exactly how it is.

 

Rejection of diplomacy and dialogue

In many cases, even in the US and Europe, instead of using diplomacy and dialogue to solve problems, Zionism has resorted to force and political pressure. 
This unconstructive approach, in addition to increasing hatred and tension among Zionists, has made Western societies feel that Zionism is only seeking to secure its own interests and does not care about the rights and opinions of others.
In summary, the roots of hatred in Zionism can be found in internal racism, religious and racial extremism, propaganda, military atrocities, rejection of diplomacy and dialogue. All these together, in addition to developing the feeling of hatred among the Zionist Jews, also created an atmosphere of hatred in the relations of the regime.
