Naaaah, you just like to use it to denigrate, dehumanize, delegitimate, and demonize about 95% of the Jewish People and anyone who agrees that the Jews ALSO should get to live in their homeland (which is all that 'Zionism' actually means)
If the homeland was in uninhabited territory, fine.
The way you use it is closely akin to 'Tail Gunner Joe' talking about Communism. Even Hadassah did not escape your condemnation, simply for being a 'Zionist' organization - although you knew next to nothing of Hadassah's century of effort to build up the land and ALL the people within it.
I don't remember saying anything negative about Hadassah except that it was Zionist. I do applaud their very unusual efforts for non-Jews, including even Palestinians. Lord knows that spirit is a rarity among Zionists. But they are still a Zionist organization, in league with the bad guys,
supporting an entity that denies even basic human and civic rights to an entire nation. If they can see through their Zionism, I'll be all for them. But unfortunately in the last analysis they are just another Zionist organization and being comparatively compassionate toward individual Palestinians doesn't change their role in maintaining the specifically Jewish character of the state of Israel in contravention of the rights of another nation.
I like the term Zionist for reasons I have already set forth. I have negative things to say about much of what Israel has done historically, and much of what has been done in the name of Israel. I will NOT say negative things about Jews, and that would be wholly inappropriate, as Jews are not to blame for Israel's misdeeds. And I even resist saying negative things about Israelis, even though of course some are jerks and some aren't. So the term I am going to use is "Zionist." That is the term Zionists use for themselves and it is entirely appropriate in this context. I can't think of any other term that would be appropriate, unless you want to suggest one perhaps??
Now if the Z word is starting to feel uncomfortable in your ears, better ask yourself why.
What is nauseating is you parroting the bold filth above. You don't know ANYTHING about actual Zionist individuals or organizations, but you are quite willing to condemn ANY group which uses that word to describe itself. You may as well say 'Jew' for all the difference it makes: it's 95% the same.
The disgusting mischaracterization which you lay upon Hadassah is offensive:
we have not and do not ever look at 'who' we are helping, only that a person needs help. You may as well accuse the Shriners of being racist on the basis that race relations in the US are not perfect. The bathetic pseudo-support you express for Hadassah is completely overwhelmed by the base and hateful 'aside' which you just couldn't keep yourself from spitting. Yes the LORD does know whether or not the spirit of Hadassah is rare among Zionists (or any other group of humans!) - but you, Hostility, are not HE - nor do you have some special knowledge of such matters, as those posted words of yours intimate.
You're not just condemning an Administration, but an entire nation AND its people AND whoever has any support or sympathy for those people.
It's not a 'zero-sum' situation: supporting the right of half of Israel's population to sleep outside of bomb shelters is NOT 'oppressing' anyone. Just as supporting the due rights of the Palestinians to have their own state need not be 'attacking' Israel.
As for a term 'supporters of Israel' would do nicely - as long as you drip all the lying filth of 'apartheid' and 'fascist' and 'oppression' and 'indigenous people'. That last is obscenely ridiculous: Palestinians are Arabs - they even say so. And 'Arabs' means 'people from Arabia'.... of whom many were Jews, once upon a time. Before Khayber......
