Zionism is a political ideology, has nothing to do with the religion or the citizenry. I have no problems with the state of Israel, so I could be a Zionist on that level I guess. But I'm not a Jew, nor a citizen of Israel, nor do I agree with Israeli government policy regarding Gaza, colonies or their treatment of Palestinians.

Only because they were the dominant religion and cultural mover-shaker for the last thousand and more years; if hindus, moslems or jews had been in control, then we'd be saying the same about them.
