12. "I am Zionist in the sense of supporting Israel's right to exist"

That is interesting.

I am also in favour of Israel's right to exist but I am in NO way Zionist. If I was, for example, I'd have to believe that Jews have some righteous claim to Jerusalem and Palestinians don't. Zionist will NEVER give any part of Jerusalem up. They don't want a "peaceful resolution" or a "two state solution" or any sort of "Palestinian State". Zionism is counter-intuitive to Palestinian statehood.

And who cares what the nutty pro-Israel DU brigade thinks? They support a terrorist government like Israel while at the same time bitching about another terrorist group on the other side. Why do you care what these extremists think? You're far more sensible, fair-minded and reasonable. As you can see with shira's post below, they are beyond any sensible debate.
