Well put. It really does seem to be a k-word substitute in a lot of cases. I like the third definition.
Zionism is a political movement that perpetrates atrocities with the aim of removing jewish populations from other parts of the world and settling them in Palestine.
It consists mainly of christians. If you assemble ten random zionists most or all of them will be christians, not jews.
This is a very bizarre conspiracy theory definition.
