I am a Jew and NOT a Zionist. I may not have much support from my fellow Jews in this section, but I do stand for peace and am anti-anything against the 10 commandments, the 5th being THOU SHALT NOT KILL!

No. Some believe God forbid his people from having a state of their own-as punishment for disobeying Him-and that the treatment of Palestinians (who are more genetically related to Hebrews than east european converts to Judaism) is wrong. There's probably just as many Christian or Athiest Zionists as there are Jewish ones. The anti zionist Jews get treated like crap.

Many Jews in Israel are anti-zionism; those are the ultra orthodox that despite living there, believe the Land of Israel should be given to Jewish people when the Messiah comes, not by politics and war.
Not all Jews are of course Zionists, specially if u r already born there...u r just Israeli.
See Jews in USA, or UK, or Brazil, or France...they live in their countries...they dont chose mostly to immigrate to Israel. We (jews) are all fond of the idea and rights of the existence of the State of Israel, but unless u engage politically, and do something, u r not Zionist.

Most polling when they are done on this matter show that over 90% of Jews are Zionists (although I once saw one study that only put the mark at 83%). This is all from memory. I was trying to find some data on the net to support my assertions here but haven't been able. Sorry
Good Luck!!!

Not all Jews are Zionists. Actually, Jews in America have loyalty first to America (like all good Americans). Zionism is the belief in efforts to attain a homeland. Technically, now that Israel exists, there's no need for Zionism per se...just a need for vigilance to maintain the homeland.

No, not all Jews are Zionists. Someone classified Jews as either being Zionists or anti Zionists of which the vast majority are Zionist.
I would say that it inaccurate. There are THREE general classifications, Zionist, non Zionist, and anti Zionist. The non Zionists are those who aren't especially Zionist but still support the state of Israel and in many cases, quite vocally. I view myself as belonging to that group. I imagine that most anti Zionists would categorize me as a Zionist.
As is the case, in many cases, but not all, anti Zionism is thinly disguised anti semitism. This is especially true for some groups (e.g. Hamas) when, if you listen carefully, they use Zionist and Jew interchangeably. Also, if you here such things as "Zionist controlled media" or "Zionist controlled US congress" or "most powerful lobby" those are shades of anti semitism since they amount to saying things such as "Jewish controlled media".

There are more Egyptian Christians than there are Israeli jews and they are joining the demonstrators. It is not important what Americans think, they do not know what is happening but the Christians is Egypt do and the would not be participating if they believed this will result in an islamic state.

No not all Jews are zionists, the same as not all Christians are zionists. Being of a political ideology and a religion is very different.

Zionism was founded by secular Jews -- it took an intolerable situation after the holocaust for religious Jews to admit that Israel was the only option for escaping the atrocities of Europe. Even the U.S. without our proud Statue of Liberty admitted only a minimal number of Jews. The waiting list for admission was about 14 years. Few would have survived the wait.
I am not a Zionist, but I love Eretz Israel. I would be devastated to see its end, but I would be very much relieved if all the Israelis could move to the U.S. or any other safe place -- providing there is one.

Of course not. There is a big difference between being a jew and being a zionist. in fact it is also fair to say, that zionists is killing of the jews.
