I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bloggers maybe' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'unusually intense about zionist leader' is the wordplay.
'unusually' is an anagram indicator.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'leader' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'zionist' is 'z'.
'intense' anagrammed gives 'netiens'.
'netiens' placed around 'z' is 'NETIZENS'.
