If you tell people that, in the current pre-eminent culture war between Reformist and Zionist Jews that you lean towards the Zionist side, most are going to think you're a loony. How would you frame it to the uneducated so that you sound reasonable?
First of all, people are gonna think you're a loony regardless . Just by bringing up Jews you're gonna turn most people off and they won't want to have that kind of conversation. Most folks have been well-indoctrinated to believe that any talk about the tribe is a neo-Nazi, mega-evil conspiracy theory. Fact is most Americans are philosemites, for better or worse. Israelis have jokes in Hebrew about how docile and subservient Americans are to their interests.
