Anti-Zionism is a political stance that opposes the establishment and continued existence of the state of Israel as a Jewish nation. It often critiques the policies and actions of the Israeli government, particularly regarding the treatment of Palestinians and the ongoing conflict in the region. While some anti-Zionists may focus on specific policies, others reject the idea of a Jewish state altogether. This position can be rooted in various ideologies, including nationalism, socialism, or religious beliefs, and it can sometimes intersect with broader critiques of imperialism or colonialism.
