Most jews were either indifferent to zionism or opposed to it until the nineteen forties ... after the second war when news came out about the nazi camps, zionists were very successful in appropriating for themselves the resulting empathy for the jewish people, they gained from this huge political capital

That political capital has been spent long since ... squandered, in the view of many including myself, on a project of Excludostaat, where the principal excludees are the natives of the 'homeland' that zionists robbed for themselves ... so whether or not a majority of jews support zionism today, this support has changed in the past, and conceivably could change again

Certainly the canadian of jewish ancestry whom i know best would not lend his name to the robbing of anybody ... and he never really has - we've discussed this specifically - in his teens, over thirty years ago, he was fed the standard line du jour that expressed empathy for zionists only, he says he recalls thinking, and wondering out loud at times, 'But what about the palestinians, who have clearly been wronged by this conquest of their homeland' ... since then he has learned more of the full history, and there is no way you're going to rob anybody in his name
