> Zionists made a tremendous mess, especially for Jews,
The world at the time was a mess. Growing nationalism and communism in Europe was a great danger. Zionists were among those who understood the danger. In hindsight, the best solution for Jews would have been to all join together in trying to find safe places and maybe try to make those countries they lived in stronger ad wiser. We see that Jews play significant role in US politics, see people like Kissinger, but many others also. Let’s go back to Poland in 1920s – where the newly reconstructed country (was partitioned from 1790) enjoyed democracy – Poles fighting each other Polish Jews fighting each other, while being surrounded by Nazis and Soviets. If some Yidden instead of arguing about pro- and against Zionism, would gather information about tanks and airplanes Germans and Russians were building and explain the danger to Polish government, maybe they had a chance.
