Can you differentiate between anti-Zionism and anti-semitism?
Update:
@Paul: Indeed I can, but it is often a line that gets blurred in much the same way as the issues I mentioned. There are those who use one to mask the other.
Fantastic question. I would like to think I can do. I have Jewish friends and I am against any form of discrimination. But I do not support the illegal occupation of Palestinian land. Just as I would like to think that I am a patriotic Brit but in no way a racist. The two issues get confused too often with insults being used too easily by both sides.
The Anti-Semite hates the Jews because they are Jews, irrespective of their actions. Jews may be hated because they are rich and ostentatious or because they are poor and live in squalor. Because they played a major role in the Bolshevik revolution or because some of them became incredibly rich after the collapse of the Communist regime. Because they crucified Jesus (who was also Jewish) or because they infected Western culture with the "Christian morality of compassion". Because they have no fatherland or because they created the State of Israel.
Zionism is a political creed and must be treated like any other. One can be anti-Communist without being anti-Chinese, anti- Capitalist without being anti American, anti-Globalist, anti-Anything. Yet, again, it is not always easy to draw the line, because real anti-Semites often pretend just to be "anti-Zionists".
You did not point out something approximately Christian Zionists. they don't care one bit pertaining to to the Israeli Jews, their wellness or how many Jews die in the technique of gratifying what the Christians have faith is a prophecy of that Jewish "Promised Land":. you will possibly desire to opt to pronounced some thing pertaining to to the Palestinian people who go through below the Israeli Apartheid. it somewhat is a few thing that has human beings all over the realm, of all ideals turning against the Israelis. while Israel first grew to develop right into a state, it replaced into as a consequence of the international’s sympathy after the holocaust. Now it seems the Palestinian anybody is receiving comparable scientific care from the Jews that the Jews won below the early days of the Nazis. some in Israel and the U. S. are wielding the term “Anti-Semite” as a weapon against persons that could oppose Palestinian oppression in Israel.
Anti-semitism is prejudice against Jews. Zionism is for a Jewish state, there were, and still are, Christian Zionists. A Zionist isn't necessarily a Jew.
whoa whoa now, anti zionism? so you as a lefty admit you're rabid over the actuality of the state of Israeli as a whole and not just it's so called treatment of palestine huh... that's insightful there..
fact is there is no such thing as zionism, if you mean anti Israeli and it's supporters then say it, to say zionism is to use the nazi argument 'hidden jews are behind every ill' .. sounds like liberal hatred raising it's ugly head again.

Antisemitism is wrong, because you are attacking a faith.
Aniti-zionism is not wrong, as long as you keep within the limit of not blowing the entire world up in the process of destroying the Zionists.

Anti-Zionism,is a cover for Antisemitism.
Both advocate the continuation of the Nazi Genocide of Jews.
It's cynical,political semantics,the effect is the same.
It is a sub-conscious realisation
that the Jews are the root & branch
of the illuminati.
