Zionist

More than those who are merely pro-Israel, Zionists (1) see contemporary Israeli society as presenting a challenge to their Jewish life in the Diaspora; (2) believe Israel offers a greater chance of a fulfilling and secure Jewish life; and (3) are confronted with the possibility of settling in Israel and attracted to it. Thus, while most American Jews are pro-Israel, far fewer are Zionists in the classical sense.

1995, Stephen M. Cohen, “Jewish Continuity Over Jewish Context”, in Robert Seltzer, Norman S. Cohen, editors, The Americanization of the Jews, page 405:

These investigations indicate that although a large proportion of American Jews call themselves Zionists, their meanings of Zionism are closer to what some investigators have called pro-Israelism. According to the still common Israeli definition of a Zionist as one who views the Diaspora negatively and considers the settlement of Jews in Israel as essential, the vast majority of American Jews would not be considered Zionists.

1996, Gal Allon, Allon Gal, Jerold S. Auerbach, Envisioning Israel: The Changing Ideals and Images of North American Jews, page 151:

Most Zionists hoped for a state of their own, but early in the 20th century, writers like Hillel Solotaroff and Chaim Zhitlowsky, both Yiddish-speaking immigrant intellectuals in New York, imagined another alternative: a federation of self-governing anarchist communes in Palestine that would defend Jewish life without relying on state power.

2019 July 15, Greg Afinogenov, “The Jewish Case for Open Borders”, in Jewish Currents, number Summer 2019:

A believer in the African Zionism religion.

1999 JGA, Re: Orthodox Exodus from the State of Israel Group: soc.culture.jewish
Purge the leftists out of positions of influence and give zionist Jews who really love Israel a break from the "aliyah pimps" and you'll see plenty of prozionist US Jews coming in the next few years.

AIPACer

It turned out that the political elite used the conference as an opportunity to practically leap into the AIPACers' laps. For two days a steady stream of American and Israeli dignitaries flowed into the Washington Convention Center […]

From Israel + firster, influenced by and compared to America First (“American isolationist ideology”).

The ZPC never lost a beat: Israel Firster and Zion-Con fanatic, US Treasury Under Secretary responsible for terrorism and financial intelligence, Stuart Levey, succeeded in convincing China to tighten trade credit ...

2011, Norman G. Finkelstein, "This Time We Went Too Far" - Truth and Consequences of the Gaza Invasion, page 177:

The increasing proximity to the president of this quintessential "Israel firster" most likely played a role in reigning in Obama's initiative to completely freeze Israeli settlements.

2013, Josh Ruebner, Shattered Hopes - Obama's Failure to Broker Israeli-Palestinian Peace, page 75:

routinely used the white supremacist anti-Semitic slur "Israel Firster" to describe any Jew who was hawkish on Israel.

From Zion + Don or blend of Zionist + Donald, in the context of his pro-Israel stance. Also chosen for its quasi-rhyme.

They realized that they have overused their Zion Don to the point where one more of these attacks and his base is going to abandon him entirely.

2019 April 1, D. Schlenk, “Mossad/CIA False Flag Warning”, in de.soc.weltanschauung.misc (Usenet):

Good, that’s where Zion Don belongs. I doubt, however, that Democrats have balls to do that. Also, the fact that they call prison a “niggerville” really says a lot about niggers.

2023 November 19, D. Ray, “Re: 8 NIGGERS ARRESTED IN VEGAS TEEN'S FATAL BEATING”, in de.soc.weltanschauung.misc (Usenet):

Trump supporters have also moved to the right of Trump himself: hence, accusations of Trump running a MIGA campaign (Make Israel Great Again) or even himself being a Zion Don can be found on Reddit and 4chan (Luddy 2021).

It also means that when a right-wing Jewish group such as the ZOA chooses to overlook Bannon’s well-documented links to anti-Semitic white nationalists, it puts itself on a moral par with J.V.P. Bannon is the man who expressly called Breitbart News “the platform for the alt-right,” knowing full-well the toxic range of opinion encompassed by the term.
