78. Nonsense...
First of all Jews have always wished to return to the Holyland

More or less true, but still a separate issue from Zionism. Zionism is a specific way of doing so, one many Jews, rightfully or wrongfully, reject. It is a political movement, not necessarily religious in character.

To most Arabs the terms Zionist and Jew both mean the same thing

True or not, utterly irrelevant to the discussion.

the only difference is that a Zionist does not wish to live as a second class citizen and wants self determination

So what does that make Jewish anti-Zionists? Self-hating?

What if someone is opposed to a Jewish state but still supports equal rights?

The Palestinians will be the first people ever to win a nation by losing conflict aggressive conflict the loser of any war I don't care who it is no nation has ever gotten to dictate issues such as boarders and water resources

The Palestinians are not going to dictate borders and water resources.

I am not aware that they have lost yet, and they do not seem to be aware of it either.
