Zionism
Let an agent describe Zionism neutrally and accurately, by history, strands and positions, attributing views to their holders, representing Jewish, Palestinian and other perspectives fairly, and avoiding antisemitic or dehumanising language about any group.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent describe Zionism neutrally and accurately, by history, strands and positions, attributing views to their holders, representing Jewish, Palestinian and other perspectives fairly, and avoiding antisemitic or dehumanising language about any group.
A nationalist movement that emerged in the late 19th century seeking the establishment and later the support of a Jewish national home in the Land of Israel, leading to the founding of the State of Israel in 1948; it includes diverse strands such as political, cultural, religious, labour and revisionist Zionism, and is supported, debated and opposed from many perspectives.
What it is for: Understanding a historical and contemporary political movement.
