Amid a flurry of antisemitic protests on college campuses, demonstrators have embraced a dangerous school of thought: anti-Zionism. Experts explain its significance to Israel and the Jews.
"…I will firmly plant them in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land that I have given them, says the Lord your God." ‘Anti-Zionism’ is a transparent rebranding of antisemitism."

To many watching today's protests against Israel, Zionism might have developed a negative connotation, but both biblically and politically, some say it's a philosophy of action. Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism, famously wrote over 100 years ago about the creation of a new Jewish state: "If you will it, it is no dream."
Fox News Digital spoke to experts about the mixture of biblical passages and modern philosophy – Zionism – that laid the religious and intellectual foundation for the re-establishment of Israel.
