    Personally I’ve always found it quite antisemitic to prescribe all people of the Jewish faith the opinions of the state of Israel, and in turn hold them accountable for the states actions.

    When people say anti Zionism is equivalent antisemitism that’s what they are doing, and in turn removing all agency from people of the Jewish faith.

    I have yet to ask people who make the argument about this though, but I assume it’d be a shitstorm.

      For sure. Zionism itself is very anti-Semitic for that reason.

      I was correcting a typo in the post above.

        I don’t agree that zionism is anti-semitic per se, because it’s possible to be a zionist without implying all jews are zionists.

        Sorry, it wasn’t meant to be directed at you as if you held the opinion. I can see how it could be read like that.

        It was meant as more of an apropos to your comment.
