Why anti-Zionism is always pure antisemitism – What makes „anti-Zionism“ different is that it does not aim at policy difference nor even at animus against political personalities but at delegitimizing a core component of the Judaic paradigm | israelhayom.com

The excuse is given by the „Woke Left“ that „We only are against Zionism, not against Jews. It‘ not antisemitism; it’s only anti-Zionism.“
The response to that claim often gets into stratospheres of theory and politics that completely miss the point. It certainly is possible to oppose policies of the State of Israel without being anti-Jewish. Indeed, even strong Zionists often oppose discrete Israeli government decisions like the 2005 Gush Katif evacuation or the resistance to extend sovereignty over the regions of Judea and Samaria where 475,000 Jews now live permanently along with another 325,000 in east Jerusalem.
