Do you support the existence of a Jewish state in Palestine?
Yes? You are a Zionist.
No? You are an anti-Zionist.
94% of US Jews and 95% of British Jews are Zionists. 86% of US Gentiles and 95% of UK Gentiles and 86% of US Gentiles are Zionists.
The two state solution is a ZIONIST solution.
I am a proud Gentile Zionist! What's to debate?
