People who think like you don’t understand Zionism to begin with. Whatever political BS you’ve been taught to think about it which mostly comes from Arab propaganda, is not what it’s about.

Zionism is the desire, hope and belief for all Jews to return to Israel, the Jewish homeland, which it has been for some 3500 years. The land of Israel isn’t just a mass of dirt. We as Jews are tied to it. It is part of who we are as a people.

When God says, “Hear Oh Israel”, he’s not speaking to a lump of clay. Israel = the Jewish people. That’s what it means.

If you’re anti-Zionist, you are anti-Semitic. There is no distinction.

Now if you want to criticize Israeli policy, that’s another story. It doesn’t make you anti-Semitic.
