    That person defined anti-semitism such that significant fraction of Jew are anti-semites by that definition.

    and, as a Jewish anti-zionist, I disagreed with them.

    But that still doesn’t change the fact that actual antisemites hide behind the excuse of anti-zionism to continue to spread antisemitism. the thread we’re commenting on is a live example of this, and minimising this fact helps the antisemites.

      True.

      The conflating of Zionism with all of Israel and with the Jewish Religion as a whole has been very useful for the Israeli far right and the cost has been paid by Jews all over the World who have nothing to do with those fascists.

      Similary, the accompanying strategy of throwing the accusation of anti-semitism left, right and center at any criticism of Israel or Zionism has had a “the boy who cried wolf” effect: people don’t really believe it anymore, so when real alerts for real anti-semitism are made, people just take them as the usual false slander for political purposes.

      This was entirelly to be expected.
