This is a bit misrepresentative of what he said. He said he believes israel has a right to exist but not as a jewish state which would mean he's not a zionist because zionism is specifically the bleief that israel should exist as a jewish state. That being said idk why he said it like this seems like a weird thing to say. Idk why he said it like that, israel and a jewish state are partically inseperable.

technically they are called chirstian fundementalists. but in america if you say fundemnetalists people will know you are talking about christian fundemnetalists. Maybe in other parts of the world it wouldn't be as heavily implied when you say fundmentalist, as religious fundementalism is not exclusive to christians. Funnily enough, fundmentalist is often used as a standin for biblicial literalist. That is the techincal term for people who are young earth creationists, atleast generally speaking they are almost always biblical literalists. This could be very dependent on culture though. Biblicial literalism isn't a very common term among lay people though.

Practically speaking though it's all semantics.

It's also just not really true. If you look inot what he actually says it more paints a picture of someone who isn't very educated on zionism wanting peace in the middle east and equality for all. which isnt' what zionism is. There seems to be a dedicated effort to try to twist the truth and even outright lie about what martin luther king believed about zionism. But no it was pretty milquetoast centrist take on israel/palestine. Which is definitely still a bad take, especially considering some of his peers like malcom x were very vocally opposed to israel. But it's not zionism.
