Are you a Zionist?

[KaiserDave]

I sort-of agree with Lief. In a historical-political context, I am not a supporter of Zionism, I am more partial to the notions liberal emancipation or social revolution. But I come from a mixed-faith secular assimilated background, so I have privilege.

That said, there is a very pragmatic humanitarian case for Zionism that I believe in, especially after the Holocaust. Now there is a state of millions of Jews that for its citizens, is a very good place to live. I support that state continuing to exist. I do not believe that the abolition of this state would preserve the life or liberty of its inhabitants. This, technically, does make me a Zionist, so I don't reject the label. That said, if you know me at all, I'm not exactly a flag-waver.
