I can't think of a better Republican for that committee. It's where he can do the most good and the least harm.

Since when does Jewish automatically = Zionist? I've asked this before (since people like you always call us Zionists), but have yet to receive a straight answer. You do know the difference, right?

I'd like to know because I have noticed the same thing. I thought they were the same things. What is the difference?

In short

Zionism is basically a form of nationalism that advocates for a Jewish state in the land of Israel.

Judaism is religious/cultural world view.

A Zionist is somebody who specifically supports (often vehemently) the State of Israel, and typically doesn't believe it should be shared with the Palestinians. Not all Jews are Zionists and not all Zionists are Jewish... but it seems lately the words have become interchangeable, usually among those who aren't so fond of the Jewish people.

P.S. To the above poster (and OP), why is this so funny or even noteworthy to you? Not sure I get the point of this thread, or at least I hope my suspicions are false.

The Zionists believe they are the chosen ones.

I doubt it.

If the OP were Jewish himself, I don't think he'd know the difference between a mohel and a dreidel.
