I don’t think no true Scotsman is a good position to take. I can’t say that no real Jew would be a Zionist any more than I can say no real German would be a Nazi. It creates space for an “it can’t happen here” fantasy, which is dangerous.
I'm not seeing it that way. The no true Scotsman fallacy is more if you create an arbitrary set of rules to differentiate 2 groups that should be the same. These Zionists are going hard against the teaching of Moses and the Jewish faith in general. It's pretty clear they are not actual Jews.
Oh. People aren’t going to know that by Jew you mean believer in Judaism unless you qualify it. Most Jews aren’t even religious.
Yeah that's fair. I tend to forget that a lot of people consider Jew an ethnicity as well as a religion. Your point makes sense in that light.
