Your insistence on using the term "Zionist" is telling, to say the least.

You are right. It says the least. It's a term that has been used by some Jews, and appears in the bible. It identifies a movement and a point of view. It's not a slur.

What I know is that according to the sources sited in 1946 there were676,000 Jews and 1,269,000 Arabs living in the land we now call Israel. In 1948 the Jews imposed their nation upon those 1,269,000 Arabs against their will. Hardly what one would call democracy. Whether you want to play with words to disinfranchise those 1,269,000 people by calling them non-palestinians is up to you. Those 1,269,000 think they got screwed, and that the U. S. was in on it. Part of the consequence was the 9/11 bombing in revenge.
