#stray thoughts while reviewing copy-editor's notes on my manuscript

Sometimes I can barely keep myself from laughing when someone online makes an over-arching statement about Zionism and/or Zionists. Literally if you study the history of Zionism (which I have, though not enough to call myself a specialist of expert), what is immediately apparent is that it's an umbrella term for a veritable fuckton of movements and ideologies, many of which bear little in common with one another.
I think most people on the internet say "Zionism" when what they're talking about is Kahanism, which is a disgusting, fascist ideology.
I don't think I'm going to change anyone's word usage here, but on the other hand, words mean things.
