Maybe I’m blinded by the western positionality, but dusting your hands and saying “nothing to do with me” re the apartheid state that’s doing the genocide in the name of your religion does seem like fencesitting. Obviously Israel is lying and weaponizing Judaism, but declaring yourself non-Zionist seems to opt out of the argument entirely
I think you're entitled to think of it this way for westerners. The way I became aware of the distinction at all was because of Judith Butler explaining their position (they consider themself a liberal zionist so obviously take all of it with a grain of salt, never let the enemy define the terms etc etc). You'd probably be right to say that, in the US and Europe, a nonzionist and a zionist are the same person but just at different stages of embarrassment.
