Founded on? No. That's pretty much a direct, and entirely logical, response to the rest of the world (but Europe particularly) dumping on them whenever it was convenient to do. Basically, "screw you guys, I'm going home," but writ large. IMO, quite different from a bunch of emotionally fragile snowflakes fucking off into an echo chamber where they can circlejerk each other uninterrupted.

It could be argued that it's become the most extreme expression of the safe space concept from that point. But by that metric, any country with strong nationalist sentiment and strict regulations on who they let in qualifies.

How was it not literally founded on the concept when it’s entire point was to provide a “safe space” for Jews from antisemitism?

That's a central function of Israel, sure, but, the cornerstone of Zionism is that Jews are a nation and have a territorial claim to their ancestral homeland. Whether you think that's a compelling reason enough for Israel to exist is up to you.

Nah it’s still ultimately about fragile woketard safe-space whining. After all the original founder of Zionism Herzl himself didn’t even originally consider Israel/Palestine as an option, he was hoping to get any deal to where the Jews could fuck off into their own self-imposed segregated ghetto country, hell at one point he was even considering Uganda as an option!

If it was just about establishing indigenous ancestral and nation claims why have we yet to see Native American tribes demand the whole of the United States be given back to then? Why are they simply satisfied with having certain areas/reservations in which they have territorial claim yet aren’t entitled enough to demand a whole self-segregated country? I’ll tell you why, it’s because they have yet to go full woke. Most sane, non-woke people understand that no one is “oppressed” or “marginalized” enough to entitle them to their very own segregated “safe-space” small area, let alone an entire country! Like holy shit imagine the levels of entitlement you have to have for that.
