Its very rare to find a committed Zionist today. Incidentally, Steven Plaut changed the name of his blogspot to zioncon to underline the notion Zionism today amounts to a conspiracy in the face of all the conventional wisdom about Israel's evil. Everything of course is the opposite. But you'd never once hear Israel's critics acknowledge the Jewish State has done, despite her shortcomings, an impressive amount of good in the world. And that needs to be placed on the record.

I am a Roman Catholic but I am committed Zionist. I fully support Israel right to exist and to defend itself by any means necessary.
