According to a definition you gave a while back, I would qualify as a Zionist because I believe in Israel's right to exist. As for Mr. Shahak and other Jewish writers' I have read, they too do not advocate dismantlement of Israel, so they meet your definition

There is definitely a middle ground, st. People who say they are all for Israel's existence, but then lay out a series of conditions that are tantamount to its suicide, usually as a state at all and certainly as a Jewish state. These conditions are especially noted for looking appealing on paper, but have not the slightest regard for the actual track record of Arab states or the expressed intentions of Israel's enemies.

It's kind of like telling a woman who's been almost killed by her stalking ex-boyfriend that she should just invite him to move in with her and learn to get along. Not the most practical of advice.
