Well argued. Am I a Zionist? I lived in Tel Aviv for 9 years, speak excellent Hebrew and hold a long lapsed Israeli passport. If I were 20 years younger, I'd move back to Tel Aviv PDQ. Now I have no desire to live in Israel. So am I a "former" Zionist?
Perhaps a more comprehensive, less stringent definition would be better. A Zionist is a person who supports the return to, and the dwelling in, Zion
I strongly recommend to any would be Zionist to learn at least some basic Hebrew and live in Israel for a year. An IDF boot camp is a bonus lol 😆

I believe everyone has a right to his or her own perspective so you can call yourself whatever you want.
My perspective is the same as Halkin's. I would not call you a Zionist. But you can call yourself one.
So, if I understand Halkin correctly, if you reside/work in Israel - you're a Zionist. If you live anywhere else - you're not
Ergo: every Israeli citizen physically present in Israel is a Zionist
Yeah. I don't know what he would say about the ostensibly anti-Zionist Jews living in Israel.
He doesn't refer to non-Jews. Read his book.
