I'm not. Zionism is a fascist ideology. If you think ethnic cleansing isn't inherently fascist, I don't know what to tell you besides you're wrong. There is no rigid definition of Fascism

Why do you think Einstein and Arendt considered the actions of Zionism fascist?

Ethnic cleansing is an action humans have engaged in since they recognized ethnicity as a concept. Fascism is a political philosophy that comes about as a response to Marx's works. There are thousands of years of ethnic cleansings that have nothing to do with fascism.

Fascism is authoritarian in nature and Israel is not a fascist state. There are no fascist democracies.

What a physicist thinks of a political system has the same value as a political philosopher's take on physics.

Edit: you are entirely misrepresenting what the 1948 NYT letter was about which is a rejection of a singular party in Israel and not the state of Israel. Your link does not have Arendt calling Israel fascist but comparing a specific party to fascists. Why are you misrepresenting the truth here?
