They consider being anti-zionist to be antisemitic. This one section alone. The remainder is fine but I believe this shows they can't disconnect Israel from Jew

"Examples of when such critiques cross into antisemitism include when they ostracize and vilify Zionists and Zionism"

- jraby3 2y agoIt's perfectly fine to criticize the government of any country. But is anyone in the UK, or Syria, or Iraq (my birthplace) saying those countries don't have a right to exist? Why just Israel? When you have a standard that exists for one country or people that doesn't exist for anyone else, isn't that the definition of bigotry in all its forms?
- Braxton1980 2y agoThere's two levels: 1. Hating someone for an attribute they can't fix or were born with is wrong. For example, skin color, sexual orientation, or being Jewish* This is wrong because a Black person can't stop being Black, a gay man can't stop being attracted to men. In other words it's not the fault of the person. 2. Hating a person because of a belief is different. Hating all Nazis is bigotry but almost all people wouldn't consider that wrong. Hating all people who think Israel should be a country is also bigotry. The big difference is the person has control over their belief. > standard What standard? Who is setting this standard? #------------ * Being Jewish is considered both an ethnicity and religion, it's complicated. Hitler didn't care if jews converted, his definition was ethnic. In this conversation I'm considering it an ethnicity.
