It's zionist as a concept in a vacuum for sure. But as a strategy on the path towards liberation, the step transforms into an anti-zionist position. We're agreeing here for the most part, I believe, but I want to encourage people to see the process as part of the concept itself, not as something totally separate. So 2-staters who do it to preserve Israel are of course wrong and terrible. 2-staters who are supporting palestinians sovereignty and their own path to complete liberation are not at all zionist due to that position. I've never read Finkelstein, and so going off of only some videos, I would place him in the 2nd category more than the first. Though I think he is blind to how struggles interrelate and such, of course, because of all his other positions.
