        Really? Ok. I don’t have a problem with what he said there. Palestinians have a right to live, the attacks in Gaza are unacceptable and should cease immediately, regardless of the horrible attacks on October 7th. I would go further and call it a genocide, but I can understand why a politician would avoid incendiary language during an election cycle.

        Does that make me a Zionist, too?

          Do you know what is the definition of a Zionist?

            I thought I did, but you seem to be using it differently. Tell me yours.

              From Wikipedia:

              Zionism is an ethno-cultural nationalist movement that emerged in Europe in the late 19th century and aimed for the establishment of a Jewish state through the colonization of a land outside of Europe

              Zionists are people who think there should be a Jewish Ethno-State

              Anti-Zionists are people who oppose the existence of a Jewish Ethno-state. There have been anti-zionist Jews since as long as there have been Zionist Jews.

              The article you linked-to said that he wanted a 2-State solution. That, by definition, makes him a Zionist.

              Edit: why is this being down voted? I’m not stating an opinion…
