340. Yes and yes
I've yet to meet an anti-Zionist Jew who was an active member of a synagogue, a volunteer for Jewish organizations or in any other way involved in the Jewish community. Actually, I've net met an anti-Zionist Jew and I am extremely involved in the Jewish community both locally and as the board member of a major national Jewish organization.

But I suppose they're out there. I have heard, for example, of ultra-religious Jewish groups that supposedly call for the end of the Israeli state (basically turning the country over to the Arabs) because they believe the Messiah must come before the Jews should get a homeland.

One thing about my fellow Jews - they revel in being opinionated and the more outrageous the better. What better way to piss off your parents than calling for the end of the Jewish homeland? Dating non-Jews just doesn't do it anymore. This is right up there with joining Jews for Jesus on the scale of what will get you uninvited to the family seder :-).
