They've made it clear that they don't want their own state, they just don't want there to be a Jewish state. And yes, it's their country, but it's also the Israelis country, and since they can't live together peacefully, that means two countries next to each other, like India and Pakistan.

FYI, the term Zio was coined by David Duke and is a derogatory term for Jews, similar to Jap, Chink, Raghead, etc. for other groups.

Would you also oppose a Palestinian state on the same grounds? If you're calling for Israel to be dismantled, what about other countries like China, Russia, and the US that have a far greater effect?

Thanks for clarifying. You seem to be defining Zionism as unequivocal support for the Israeli government and its policies. The definition of Zionism that I use is the belief that the Jewish people are entitled to self-determination in their historic homeland, which they've already been exercising for nearly 80 years. This doesn't mean that I support the Israeli government or oppose Palestinian self-determination. So some people might consider me to be antizionist depending on the definition they use. For me, Antizionism is the belief that Jews are not entitled to self-determination and should be a subject people under Arab rule, or should not be allowed to live in Israel at all. I consider anyone who holds that view to be antisemitic, just as I'd call someone anti-Mexican if they said Mexico should not exist or Mexicans should not be allowed to live there.

It may be archaic, but a young boy can be addressed as Master. When we were annual members of the San Diego Zoo, my son got mail from them addressed to Master [his name]. Also, Miss is definitely archaic. I haven't heard a grown woman referred to as Miss [her name] since the 1970s.

It's intentional, like Javier Bardem's haircut in No Country for Old Men.

What is a "Zionist" account? How can you tell?
