What does "a holy israel held against all odds" mean? Would a "non-zionist" be someone who doesn't support a Jewish state? Then yes, Zionists would be more supportive of Israel, holy or not. Where does that leave supporters of Israel that do not consider themselves Zionists?
See, it's just a term. To demonize or label people with it or suggest a hidden meaning surrounding the word isn't a great idea.
Again, the term Zionism is a general term, but people rarely critisize the movement without meaning it to be a dig on a specific target. It would be like saying Activism makes you an anarchist. They're two seperate idealism that are not one in the same. They can have different meanings to different people.
