>>>The Zionists always believed that anti-Semitism was a reaction to what Jews did (dress differently, worship differently, value different classics, etc.
Actually it’s the oppisite. Zionism was born by the Dreyfus trial. Herzl was a reporter there. Seeing the obvious antisemitism against Dreyfus, a French artillery officer who like Herzl was so removed from anything having to do with Judaism religiously and even culturally caused to him realize that antisemitism is NOT a result of Jews acting differently. After the pogroms in Odesa, the bastion of assimilation that idea started picking up speed. With the Zionist conclusion that the only ways Jews no matter how secular can be free from antisemitism is they have their own country.
In either case Zionism has been dead for decades already
