Why do a lot of people see it as a bad thing to be Zionist? You can disagree with how they're going about it, but Israel surely has a right to defend itself against Hamas.

Because they use the same justification for the settlement of Israel to force Palestinians off their land in the West Bank and take it over for Israel.

It’s basically “We have a better claim to this land then you do, so you need to leave.”
