Are You A Zionist?

Must be among the dumbest questions in our current discourse. As I understand it, Zionism was a movement to make the country of Israel in the Jewish ancestral homeland. The country of Israel exists. Whether one is a "Zionist" is as relevant as asking whether you are a supporter of the American Revolution or the Communist Revolution in China. 

Pointing out in 2026 that Israel shouldn't have been formed in 1948 has got to be one of the dumbest, most pointless, and self-defeating of all current political ideas. If anything, we should be creating more "Israels" - dynamic countries that people will be proud of and fight for. It's the countries and people that oppose a place like Israel that are the problem. What do they imagine? Should people continue farming olive trees in the same place their ancestors did for the next 1000 years? Should we turn the San Fernando Valley back into orange groves? For what purpose?
