American Zionists are not deluded about Zionism. They know exactly what Israel is, and they are actively supporting blatant supremacy, racism, and apartheid. But that is changing, because Zionism is finally being challenged in the left/liberal press.
We’ve reached the point where Everything that Joe Biden and his associates are saying about the Gaza war is a lie. Because they must deny a truth that is causing worldwide outrage against Israel.

There’s a battle inside American institutions over the truth about Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. The left is now fully aware that it’s apartheid and that the issue demands attention. But the establishment is fighting to keep that truth at bay.
The Netanyahu government is causing leading U.S. advocates for Israel to finally acknowledge realities that only critics raised before like Israel practices apartheid and U.S. aid to the rogue government should be cut.
