Dear Doves,

I think some here are confused about the term 'zionists' as it is used TODAY.  Some Christians think it's only a bunch of nice folks who want the very best for Israel and a return to the land.  A lot of today's zionists are actually in favor of having Israel divided.  Did you know that?

Shimon Peres states:

"I believe that the Israel of tomorrow and the Palestine of tomorrow can offer our children a ray of hope. The advancement of peace will complete the march of Israel towards the fulfilment of its founding vision. An exemplary and thriving country. A country living in peace and security in its homeland and among its neighbors," he said.

"Gilead Sher, senior research fellow at Israel's Institute for National Security Studies, former chief of staff of for the prime minister and former chief negotiator, said the bulk of Israelis still supported the two-state solution and were hopeful that Kerry would be successful. However, they needed to be realistic. "

According to a poll done in Israel, 66% of Israelis favor a Two State Solution.


"A poll conducted in 2010 by Israel Democracy Institute suggested that 15% of right-wing Jewish Israelis and 16% of left-wing Jewish Israelis support a binational state solution over a two states solution based '67 lines. However, according to the same poll, 66% of Jewish Israelis preferred the two-state solution.[28]"

The father of modern zionism, Theodor Herzl, was a self admitted ATHEIST.  They put up a statue of him in Dimona, Israel, and lay wreaths at his statue during certain ceremonies.
