      I thought that to. I think genevaconvenience has made a logical assumption, that Israel and Zionism are 1 to 1. This might not be correct especially for the individual who may nlknow more or less about the prigins of Zionism, and the Israeli State and yet have strong connections there.

      For instance, I have strong famiky connections to NSW but when I go there, the place as a whole feels quite different culturally.

        Zionism is the belief there should be a Jewish suprpremacist ethnostate. That is what Israel is.

        Anyone who believes Israel should exist is a literally Zionist.

        I got family connections to the UK but I still think it’s somewhere that needs to be heavily chlorinated

    Maybe they should all move there permanently then.

      Israel would love that but I don’t think Palestinians are eager for more colonists on their land.

        They wouldn’t be able to afford it once it’s a Trump resort anyway.
