Also it's in the interest of the Zionist state to identify 'Israel' with 'Jews'
If you're opposed to Zionism or the state of Israel, you shouldn't grant them that identification.
If you assume or assert that all Jews support Israel's settler-colonial project, you're also playing into the state of Israel's rhetorical strategies that conflate the survival and military supremacy of the Zionist state with Jewish safety, opposition of Zionism with hatred toward Jews, etc.
Failing to distinguish between the people group and the nation-state that claims to represent or serve them is not only rude or dehumanizing or sloppy in this case, but counterproductive for anti-Zionism as a cause. Anti-imperialism is not served by racism.
