No. The two things have nothing to do with each other. Racism is the intentional discrimination of one group of people (defined by their skin color) by another group of people. Zionism is the belief that Jews have the right, like any other ethnic group, to a nation-state.

There was a UNGA Resolution (the only one ever revoked in history) that said that Zionism was racism. This was specifically added by the Organization for Islamic Cooperation members to delegitimize Israel and not because of any actual correlation between Zionism and racism.

Nobody has ever claimed that. What some have claimed is that
Zionism is racism, which is absurd.

Is Zionism a hijacked form of Judaism?

No. Zionism is not even a form of Judaism. Zionism is a political ideology concerned with the nationalist aspiration of Jews to have a homeland. It is no more Judaism than the German Nationalism of Otto von Bismarck was Christian. Zionism identifies Jews as an ethnicity with almost no reference to religious belief. Zionism operates separately from the religion of Judaism and does not cite the Torah, Mishnah, Talmud, or the Rabbis in its day to day operations. Zionism also has created a relatively secular state and a significant number of Religious Jews in Israel are bothered that the State is less theocratic than they believe a Jewish State should be.


Is Zionism a secular form of judaism or a religious form or both?

Zionism is a political ideology focused on the establishment and preservation of a Jewish homeland. It is not inherently religious, but it can be supported by both secular and religious individuals who believe in the importance of a Jewish state. While some religious interpretations incorporate Zionism into their beliefs, it is not a form of Judaism itself.
