So also likely the next Pope will not be a Zionist either?
Depends, Zionist by what metric? Pizzaballa is the one who's the most pro-Palestine, yet he's still a Zionist in the sense that he's affirmed Israel's right to "defend itself proportionally." Does that outweigh his outreach and support for Palestinians? I'm personally biased and I definitely think there's room to argue either way on whether that's sufficient for someone who's supposed to be a moral authority. As far as I'm concerned, though, as far as liberals go these are quite decent.
