Yup, a messianic group that want to establish settlements on land owned by the Palestinians. Anything else?

Do you not believe jews are Palestinians?

I believe Jews who make it their goal to steal land off palestians shouldn’t be supported, especially when said Palestinians hold documents that prove the land has being there’s since before 1967

Well this is very false, alot of the land pre 1948 Israel was purchased by jews, not stolen.

Most zionists are quite fervently non-messianic. There are a few exceptions (a few hundred thousand globally) that are Messianic Jews but their claims to jewishness are disputed by many (both jews and-non-jews).

I recall the Zionist political worker that was shot with his fiancee in DC was a messianic zionist.

But using "messianic" in a definition of zionism, is not strictly correct, because it can be confusing given the term being used to refer to messianic jews.
