Small one, I guess according to your definition I’m not a Zionist.
I do believe that Jews share a common homeland, language, and culture – we have Eretz Yisrael as our homeland, Hebrew as our language (real Hebrew, not Ivrit), and a culture based on Torah. But we are not like all other nations – ours was decided on and given by Hashem Himself, so we are very different.
I do NOT believe that modern Israel is the same as the old land of Eretz Yisrael. It occupies much of the same space, but it’s definitely not the same.
That said, it can definitely turn into it, and the land still has holiness to it.
