Dude accused Zelensky of being a Zionist yesterday and when asked to explain, he didn't engage.

I wrote it off as a shit post.

Accusing Zelensky of being a Zionist? From his past statements on Israel, he seems to a supporter of Israel's right to exist and admires the country for its steadfastness while being surrounded by enemies.

I don't think it's unfair to characterize him as a Zionist or that he would object. He has supported Israel's right to self defense and has repeatedly sought closer relations with Israel over the years.
