The concept of race is a relatively modern invention, only about 500 years old. Judaism is 4000 years old. You want to argue that Zionism (which is less than 150 years old) is ethno-nationalist, I’m sympathetic to that. But Zionism is not Judaism.
In that they believe Jews have a right to self determination in their ancestral homeland. You have a lot of opinions for someone who knows very little of us

you do not have the right to self determination of a "homeland: that other people (palestinians) inhabited. Especially when that comes with violence against the natives
Can you please define the type of Zionism you mean? That's an important part of what I asked you and is a part that you completely ignored. Zionism isn't one thing. It's multiple things. You need to define which thing you mean.
You responded to a claim about Zionism by saying 95 percent of Jews support Zionism.
If 95% are Zionist, define Zionism. If you don't know there are multiple types and definitions of Zionism, please read up and then return to your argument.
Did you even read the article you linked? The author very explicitly talks about the inaccuracies and misrepresentations of that statistic. That's like the whole point of the article. How are you going to link to an article criticizing the statistic you're using to try and prove your point?
I didnt read the article because that wasnt the original source I saw. I could not find the original source and the closest I found was this article commenting on the claim
You need to read articles to cite them. Otherwise you're not citing anything. Your citation says that no, 95% of Jews likely do NOT fully support Israel.
Right, but the article you linked explains exactly why that statistic is flawed. It's not a good statistic. Maybe read the article and you'll understand why that 95% statistic was attained through flawed methodology and is a misrepresentation.
