Out of all the different returns for definition on OneLook of the many dictionaries, that includes all the biggest, only down at the bottom an obscure slang dictionary, listed it as an insult. I guess you have to be in the click, that uses it for that, or the click that does not have access to the most accepted definition, to receive it as an insult. Common dictionaries are the basis for common language and common usage, so I go with the common definition, not the obscure, chosen by bigits and paranoids, as I do not travel day to day in those circles.
I was born America attending Methodist and Baptist churches multiple times a week for one reason or another, youth groups, choirs, etc, graduating from a scholastically tough Baptist University, taking Old and New Testament (foolishly thinking these would be easy subjects to satisfy requirements for religion subjects) with my extensive upbringing in the bible, managing to escape one of these with one of the 3, "C" grades in my entire scholastic career. The Jewish thing, pro and con is not my strong suit, nor is my understanding of why God chose them, nor why they repeatedly turned their backs, before coming back, but I do not deign to shake my fist a God for the choosing. At the same time, I thoroughly accept the decision and settled law and treaty of making them a country in the place, known as Israel, and totally support their right to exist and fight their annihilation, as well as fighting for the security of their people against all comers.
If that makes me a Zionist, by the definition, so be it.
