Anti-Zionist = Anti-Semitic.
“No!”, say the anti-semites, “it’s different!”. “We’re just legitimately criticising the state of Israel, not the Jews!”.
Because you can’t say Israel is the only country in the world that is not legitimate, despite being in the United Nations as are all the other countries in the world that we deem to be countries, without that being for a reason other than logic. And that reason is clearly anti-Semitism. Jew-hatred. Which is open amongst Muslim Arabs, but hidden amongst the rest of the world as “anti-Zionism”.
What other reason could there be? What other reason than jew-hatred? For saying Israel is illegitimate? Could you claim that its foundation, 75 years ago, was “illegitimate”? Well no more so than the foundation of Pakistan, of Bangladesh, of Malaysia, of the Balkan states, dozens of others in the wake of World War II and of post colonialism. Or of Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States itself. No, only Israel, unique amongst nations is “illegitimate” and a “settler colonial” state, that must be punished and wiped off the face of the earth. The only Jewish state must be expelled, expunged, extinguished. Only the Jews.
