@menelion today... it's whatever the popular conception is as far as I'm concerned. I choose not to fight to reclaim assimmilated terminology. I just discard it when possible.
Other people will have different answers of course.
@dukepaaron I mean, if zionism is the fact to recognize the state of Israel, then "zionist" as insult is even more stupid to me. Yes, I do recognize the state of Israel, hence I'm a zionist? Okay, nice.
Oct 1, 2026, 3:00 PMYes, if you believe Israel has the right to exist, you're a Zionist. Most world leaders in the West were Zionists, and I'd even many still are, even if they refuse to use the word.
@serge @dukepaaron Cool, that's what I believed and that's what I wanted to be sure of. Then for me it's definitely not an insult, it's another fact about me.
