Very charitable but valid interpretation.
Extremely poor choice of a loaded word if so.
Either way, reason to be disappointed with him.
That's where "when from" becomes significant as well. The political calculus around Zionism was pretty different 10 years ago - being anti-Zionist was basically a fringe ideology in the West, and in the mainstream was conflated with being anti-Jewish.
Saying "Zionism" but interpreting it as a two-state solution was kind of a moderate-left take on things.
That's valid, for the record these are recent comments.
Totally agree. And tone deaf too. I imagine how ridiculous would it be to call for an "American exceptionalist" Canada.
Very braindead to hope for a future empathetic view of the agressor if the aggression hasn't even stopped yet.
Good comparison.
I believe in an independent Canadian state but it must be a MAGA state!
Seems to me like it's a good way of trying to make the idea of a free palestine appeal to zionists.
(This is my best attempt at apologism.)
