              Zionist ≠ Zionists. While most forms of zionism do suck, reform zionists are an exception. Sadly they are a minority. Reform zionists believe in equal rights for both Israelis and Palestinians and seek to end the blatant human rights violations in Israel and Palestine while not being against the existence of Israel (hence why it is still Zionism).

                Reform Zionism, also known as Progressive Zionism, is the ideology of the Zionist arm of the Reform or Progressive branch of Judaism. The Association of Reform Zionists of America is the American Reform movement’s Zionist organization. Their mission “endeavors to make Israel fundamental to the sacred lives and Jewish identity of Reform Jews. As a Zionist organization, the association champions activities that further enhance Israel as a pluralistic, just and democratic Jewish state.” In Israel, Reform Zionism is associated with the Israel Movement for Progressive Judaism.

                Reform Zionism is practically no different from Liberal Zionism. You can’t have a Jewish State in historic Palestine unless you solve the ‘demographic problem’ to ensure there is a Jewish majority. That’s also why they have no mention of Right of Return and support the Two-State Solution, to keep the vast majority of Palestinians out of this Jewish State. Not to mention that the Two-State Solution has no basis in reality. It’s a One-state reality, an apartheid state. The Two-State has always been used by Zionists to justify denying Right of Return and Palestinian Sovereignty while the more honest ‘right-wing’ Zionists (Zionism is a fascist ideology, it’s all right-wing ) continue the settlement projects.

                If they genuinely wanted equal rights for Palestinians, they would be anti-zionist. Same as Ilan Pappe or Avi Schlaim or Adi Callai or any of the other anti-zionist Israelis.

          You can say “I’m retarded” with only two words. Save your fingers the effort.
