That’s where “when from” becomes significant as well. The political calculus around Zionism was pretty different 10 years ago - being anti-Zionist was basically a fringe ideology in the West, and in the mainstream was conflated with being anti-Jewish.
Saying “Zionism” but interpreting it as a two-state solution was kind of a moderate-left take on things.
Very charitable but valid interpretation.
Extremely poor choice of a loaded word if so.
Either way, reason to be disappointed with him.
Seems to me like it’s a good way of trying to make the idea of a free palestine appeal to zionists.
(This is my best attempt at apologism.)

That’s valid, for the record these are recent comments.
Totally agree. And tone deaf too. I imagine how ridiculous would it be to call for an “American exceptionalist” Canada.
Very braindead to hope for a future empathetic view of the agressor if the aggression hasn’t even stopped yet.
Good comparison.
I believe in an independent Canadian state but it must be a MAGA state!
