      That’s ye olde definition and was true for decades which is why Biden said “I am a zionist”. The meaning has changed greatly since Israel’s war crimes became apparent.

      My favorite bit on this… Following 9/11 one of Bush’s arguments for invading Iraq was that Saddam Hussein was in violation of 17 or 18 UN resolutions.

      At the same time, Israel was violating close to 100 due to their actions in Lebanaon, Gaza, and the West Bank. It would have been more than 100 except the US has veto power on resolutions.
