Zionism has an interest in making the rest of the world unsafe for Jews, as that's one of its main justifications for Israel's existence.
How so? I'm reading the rest of the comments. Is there anything you want to add?
It's a settler-colonial project, which means it requires an endless supply of bodies to throw into the project of subjugating and colonizing "the frontier." The more they can create and feed the perception of ubiquitous antisemitism everywhere in the world--for instance, by insisting that college students protesting the settler-colonial genocide are actually calling for the destruction of Jews--the easier it is to sell the idea that they are the only "safe haven," and thus the more bodies they get to throw into the machine.
It incentivizes more Jews to move to Israel, because Israel is “the only safe place”
