I get it and I also feel quite weird about it. I always have to be careful when reading somebody's comment that mentions Zionism to see if they're just spouting

  Exactly "Jewish" describes a race (usually a cultural construct, but Jews seem quite fierce about maintaining the family ties through the millennia) "Zionist" is the political idea that jews should go to Israel... Ok, but it is a cool place full of people already "Political Zionism " is the odious idea that there should be a Jewish state in Israel. Odious in that it deprives others of rights based on race We call that "Apartheid"

    'Odious' is a bit too harsh considering what drove most Jews back to Israel was 2000 years of inquisitions, pogroms and a holocaust.
