CMV: Saying most Zionists are Christians is like saying most people who defend homosexuality are straight, only stupider
Only 0.2 percent of the world is Jewish, while 31.6 percent of the world is Christian. So there are over 150 times as many Christians as Jews. That's why most people who support Israel are Christians. This doesn't in any way detract from the fact that Zionism is defined as a movement for self determination for Jews in Israel, where half of all Jews live, the other half living mostly in the US, where 85 percent of Jews have said it's very important for the US to support Israel.
Regardless of how you feel about Israel, this is a poor argument, and there's no getting around the fact that Zionism and Jewishness are absolutely related, most Jews are Zionist, and any statement about Israel is a statement about half the world's Jews who are supported more or less by the majority of the other half of Jews. Whether or not you find it convenient, Zionism and Jewishness cannot be neatly separated.
