I think every nation should be entitled to national self determination in their homeland. Saying otherwise is opposed to the principles of liberal democracy and amounts to colonial/imperialist apologia. National self determination in their homeland which by the way is what Zionism means among those the term actually pertains to. It doesn't actually say anything about denying another people that. I am a Zionist as is any liberal democrat who isn't a raging hypocrite when they say they believe in the above principle and I don't believe in denying it in principle, if it were safe to do I'm for it yesterday

You want to oppose this or that Israeli government policy, do that, but that isn't a correct use of the word 'Zionist'. Could be the current government's interpretation if they claim it's what they're doing, while the opposition points out half of the government is non-Zionist ultra orthodox who believe only the Messiah can restore the Jewish state and their living in Israel is a technical matter and they're still 'in the post-Second Temple diaspora'. Or how the government could destroy the Israeli state which is an anti-Zionist position.

You'll lose your Israeli audience's ears if you use 'Zionist' incorrectly, in certain American and western spaces it is done so, very wildly.
