Zionism and Racism

Jeremy Paxman: What is the difference between Zionism and racism?

Peter Gooderham: Well we see the two as being quite distinct

Jeremy Paxman: Yeah whats the difference?

Peter Gooderham: Well Zionism is a political movement related to the establishment of a homeland

Jeremy Paxman [quietly]: So are some forms of racism.

Peter Gooderham:a Jewish homeland, in the erin what is now Israel and racism is something else. I mean racism is, I think we all know it when we see it and its not, its not that, and we have fought long and hard at the United Nations to keep that, to maintain that distinction.
