I failed to differentiate Dispensationalism from other things, such as Zionism. Dispensationalism is a system for interpreting Bible prophecies. It supports zionism but is not zionism. Non-dispensationalists when they read a reference to Israel in bible prophecies tend to think of the "new Israel" or Christian church, which would include ethnic Jews and Gentiles and is not associated with any particular piece of land. Dispensationalist think of the Jewish state and therefore tend to support its policies.
