There's more, but this is the full quote where he tries to equivocate the term first:
“The term Zionist increasingly being tossed around as a pejorative, in spite of the fact that it simply means believing in the right of Jewish people, like all people, to determine their own future, is not normal. No one in Canada should ever be afraid to call themselves a Zionist. I am a Zionist."

What a way to leave. I guess he's trying to bookend his, "I am a feminist" speech.

I’m all for that definition, too. But Israel can’t self-determine that they’re going to commit a genocide on their neighbors because they want to settle on their land.

As the PM facing down the 51st state threats I’d have thought he would want to expand on this statement a bit.

Similar to "You see, a Nazi is actually someone who cares a lot about their own country".

Zionism was never possitive. It is a supermasist ideology that it's people think jews has priority over any other ethenic group that lived in the area to own the whole land. The term zionism come from zion a specific hill in jerusalem.

Early zionists leader admitted that there goal what occupation. Israel first prime minister said that after they gather army they would expand to whole palastine
