==Opposition to Zionism
The Palestinians who have lost their homes in the creation of [[Israel]] are among those opposed to its existence. Among Jews, the orthodox Neturei Karta group opposes Zionism as [[blasphemy]]. Zionism was formerly opposed by some powerful Jews who feared that the creation of a Jewish state would cause them to lose their power and influence (such as ownership of newspapers and real estate), as such control could not be exercised if many Jews migrated to Israel. Opposition also comes from some [[racist|anti-racists]], who oppose Zionism's promotion of Jewish racial identity.
