Would you please define "Zionist" for me? I see/hear that word and confess I'm not sure what it means.

Well, Zionism Plus. Not only did we believe that the Jews maintain a right to their homeland (after all, they had been continuously living there since Rome, Persia, the Black Death, and the Muslim hordes screwed them over throughout the first 8 centuries AD), we believed that the re-establishment of the modern state of Israel was a fulfillment of prophecy. Some folks said that the re-establishment of an official Israeli government and nation wouldn't be legitimate by secular means but would have to be done by the Messiah. We figured that the same G-d who used secular means to chastise Israel according to covenant and to return her to the land after the Babylonian captivity could use secular means to re-establish the modern state.
