@amirbkhan@mastodon.social I appreciate this, but I admit being a little confused. I had assumed on needed to be Jewish to be a Zionist. I looked up the definition of Zionist and realized it is anyone supporting the creation and defense of a Jewish State. But does that mean that those who persecuted Jews but pushed for the creation of Israel were Zionists?
