Zionism posited a negation of Jewish life in the diaspora and, until 1948 perceived its primary goal as an ideal ingathering of exiles (kibbutz galuyot) in the ancient heartland of the Jewish people,and, through the establishment of a state, the liberation of Jews from the persecutions, humiliations, discrimination and antisemitism they had been subject to. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Zionism has continued primarily to advocate on behalf of Israel and to address threats to its continued existence and security.

“If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”
— Golda Meir
Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.
“If Hamas put down their weapons, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons, there would be no Israel."

Why would Israel fail if the US were to stop supporting that nation? They have a working economy and trade. They can always seek new trading partners. Israel's GDP currently is about $410 billion and total US aid amounts to about $3.8 billion or a bit less than 1% of Israel's annual GDP. I think they can survive without it.

Not in terms of economics.
I'm talking more along the lines of warfare.
I tend to believe many MENA countries are less extremist due to USA intervention.
That if the USA collapsed due to civil war or anything.
That many MENA countries will likely flip against Israel.
It's not just Arabs, Iran ( Persian Indo European speakers) & even maybe Turkey a Turkic speaking nation established by Asiatic raiders from Central Asia.
I tend to think Turks & Iranians are far more big & bad than Arab nations.
PS
If Iran is no threat to Israel!?
Why all the saber rattling about Iran by Zionists!?

It's a cultural thing. I trained Saudis to fly. Saudis and Italians were the worst students. Part of it is a technological thing, but there's a cultural philosophy too that seems to inhibit their learning to fly. There's a reason why a little country has been kicking their collective asses for over 70 years.
All the Euros were good except for Italy. Spaniards allowed me to practice my Spanish and pick up some choice phrases.

Why are you overlooking the mass murder of an entire nation before leaping to your moral high ground about a last act of defiance?
Besides, it wouldn't be the whole planet, just the capitols of all the Arab states and the global economy.
Now consider this, Spaz; wouldn't it be wise of the Western nations to prevent hostilities in the Middle East? Wouldn't it be wise for the Arab nations to quit fucking with Israel?
