define it as “racism”.

That distortion was pushed in 1975 in the general assembly by the Soviet Union and Arab states from their 1967 and 1973 attempt to eradicate Israel.

That resolution was overturned by the UN in 1991 by a large majority in the general assembly.

The vast majority of Jews around the world identify as Zionists, which is the support of Israel as a Jewish state.

and as the OP said it is not adverse to a two-state solution.
