Isn't Israel an Expansionist Country? - Isn't Zionism an Expansionist Ideology?

Anti-Zionists charge that Israel has "expansionist" aims, because it has not set its borders, it conquered territories in wars and it has a "secret plan" to expand over the entire Middle East. The truth is that Israel didn't set its borders because none of the Arab countries would recognize any borders at all for Israel. Of the original territory of the Palestine Mandate given to Britain in 1922 as a national home for the Jewish people, over 70% was removed in 1922 and became Jordan. In 1947, the UN partitioned the remainder of the territory between the Arabs and Jews of Palestine. The Arabs did not agree to the partition plan and started a war. Israel won the war and conquered territory originally allotted to a Palestinian state.
