Let's be clear though: Anti-zionism is a form of antisemitism. People can rationalize all they want about how/why it isn't, but they would be wrong. You can argue all you want about the policies of the current Israeli government, but anti-zionism is still a form of racism.
You can choose not to support Zionism. But if you actively believe "Jews should not have a homeland" that is anti-semetic.
Saying the same about Jews should be looked at similarly, and yes there is quite an overlap between anti zionism and anti semitism.
Also - Zionism means different things to different people; Bernie Sanders' Zionism (yes, he is a Zionist) isn't the same as Benjamin's Netanyahu.
But simply outright rejecting Jews right to live in ANY borders in that area seems to me quite hard to justify. It may not be racist in and itself but it has big (probably bad) consequences for the jews living there if it's ever realized, and it is an idea that is loved by many people who are anti semitic (either muslims, extreme right or extreme left supporters).
- Wherever a Jew goes he makes that place worse.
- Anti-zionism is a form of antisemitism
They're both stupid, untrue and intended to shut down the conversation. I think they both deserve downvotes.
There is very little discussion to be had about the first, but there is room to debate the second.
But maybe this is a reflection of my own biases - the first statement offends me personally and makes me want to walk away from the conversation while the second just sounds wrong and makes me want to engage.
