I am Christian but I support Isreal and its attacks against Hezbollah. Can I call myself a Zionist without offending Jewish people?

Many Evangelical Christians are Zionists.

Anyone who believes that Jews have the right to freedom, safety and independence in the Jewish homeland could be considered a "Zionist," or more accurately ... just a decent person.
Christians are actually the largest Zionist group in the world.
(Unfortunately, a lot of Jews don't know what it means anymore).

Zionism is a political movement and ideology that supports a homeland for the Jewish people in the Land of Israel, where the Jewish nation originated over 3,200 years ago and where Jewish kingdoms and self-governing states existed up to the 2nd century.
By definition, I guess you can. It just means you personally or politically support that Isreal should be the homeland of the Jews.

Many others have given great answers to this question. Yes, you can have zionistic views without being Jewish. Infact, the popular Israeli paper Jpost, has a website speciffically for Non-Jewish Israel supporters.

You don't have to be a Jew or Christian to be a Zionist. Generically speaking, Zionists support the right of Israel to be a nation...

I am a Christian and consider myself a Zionist. I believe the Jews are entitled to their ancestral homeland and that God's promises that they will be His people are still valid. I await the glorious day when the Third Temple is built!

there are diverse non-Jewish Christians that help Israel of their wrestle hostile to Hezbollah...yet that does no longer lead them to Zionists. If "Chels" answer is an get at the same time of the Jewish temperament and outlook, it style of feels as if Israel will continuously be at warfare... peace starts contained in the fellow... and is going out from there, no count number if you're Jewish or Christian.
