  • Literally the opening paragraph of your own link.

    The common definition of Zionism was principally the endorsement of the Jewish people to establish a Jewish national home in Palestine,[1][failed verification] secondarily the claim that due to a lack of self-determination, this territory must be re-established as a Jewish state. Historically, the establishment of a Jewish state has been understood in the Zionist mainstream as establishing and maintaining a Jewish majority.

    How do you “establish a Jewish national home in Palestine”, particularly “establishing and maintaining a Jewish majority” in a place where people already live?

    Theodor Herzl is considered the founder of the Zionist movement.

    I wonder what the founder thinks?

    “‘national judaism’ will make the ancient soil fertile. It seems miraculous. everything natural is miraculous. once the nation that we Zionists are arousing is fully awakened, things will happen swiftly and dynamically. Then the nation will behold it’s ancient land beautifully situated on the Mediterranean, with regions of cold, moderate, and warm climate - a land suited for any kind of cultivation, with long dormant natural resources”

    "Spirit the penniless population across the frontier by denying it employment… Both the process of expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried out discreetly and circumspectly. "

    “We shall grant them loans in return for territorial privileges and guarantees. One of the most important concessions they will have to make to us is to allow us to have defensive troops. In the beginning we shall need their permission. Gradually we shall get strong, grant ourselves everything that we need, and be able to defy everyone.”

    Oh…

    Standard Linux mint is is Ubuntu based, LMDE is debian based. Completely different depending on the issues they had.

    Edit: but also plenty of other Debian based distros, including Debian itself would avoid direct Ubuntu (Canonical) and Fedora (RedHat) influence.

    There is a vast difference between a community driven project like Debian taking small contributions from people who happen to be in Israel/incorporating some things from RedHat after lots of vetting and diluting and Fedora being a direct upstream testing ground for RedHat who are the primary contributors and maintainers.

    No, this type of approach will not lead to you throwing your PC in the trash, it will simply lead to you being more aware of your software and how it functions,what it contributes to, and what contributes to it. Which is a good thing imo.

    For example, I use LMDE. Yes, there are most definitely contributions from redhat in my machine. the difference is between

    RedHat engineers -> Fedora.

    And

    RedHat engineers -> Fedora -> Upstream Project acceptance-> Debian -> LMDE.

    I’m not saying you need to stop using Fedora. But everyone draws a line somewhere and I’m simply making my knowledge on this known for people who’s line may be in a similar place to mine.

    It’s worth noting that fedora is heavily sponsored by RedHat (a subsidiary of IBM) and is the upstream testing ground for RHEL (Redhats commercial offering). RedHat also has close ties to Israels government and it’s military.

    This is a huge dealbreaker for someone like me so I feel it’s necessary to mention.

    Linux Mint Debian Edition.

    Obviously you can’t completely rid yourself of all RedHat influence but Fedora is their literal upstream community testing ground and LMDE really does limit their influence heavily and that of Canonical (Ubuntu) by just building off of the more community based Debian (which Ubuntu built off of as well)
