I was taking issue with your suggestion that “we’re all Zionists.”
I guess we will agree to disagree. Unless you do not love E”Y ( and I believe you do), you most certainly are a Zionist. Politically speaking, clearly not. Intellectually, perhaps not. Emotionally, hashkafically, and religiously, we are ALL Zionists, Tzionim, or at least we are supposed to be.
Am Yisrael will always be Zionists, wherever we are, as long as we are connected to the Land. You don’t care for the treifeneh Medinah? OK, I can understand that. But our every thought is supposed to be directed toward Tzion and Yerushalayim, and that is what I mean when I say Zionist.
Shabbat Shalom (or Gutt Shabbos, if you prefer that).
