    it's a case where Zionism's ideological justification becomes a liability. under a secular humanist worldview, all human beings have certain rights which must be respected and upheld. but for the ethnonationalist, people don't have rights, only peoples do, and in particular peoples which have proved themselves by forming modern, nominally independent nation states with powerful military forces.

    another result of this is how it filters the catalyst for Israel's formation, the Nazi Holocaust. to the Zionist, if Jews aren't allowed to forge their own state through blood and soil, to consecrate leviathan with a period of mass killings of indigenous peoples like the other western powers, then there's no way to say that the Holocaust wasn't in some sense justified. they really do believe that Europe is for (white, Christian) Europeans, and therefore Israel must be for (white, Jewish) Israelis.
