[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bari Weiss wrote a great book called “How to Fight Antisemitism” that concludes that antisemitism and anti-Zionism cannot be effectively separated. She does a deep dive into the history of antisemitism and observes that, in each period of history, Jew hatred has taken different forms and changed to fit a new narrative.

The new narrative now is that antisemitism and anti-Zionism is not the same.  While the concept itself may be true, in practice, the vast majority of anti-Zionists are, in fact, also antisemites.

Jews have a right to be sensitive and even paranoid about this, given the long history of oppression and Holocaust.  It’s also
worth noting that the legal definition of  harassment or discrimination depends on how a reasonable person on the receiving end of a statement would feel — NOT the intent of the person dishing out the statement.

I would venture to say a reasonable Jewish person would feel discriminated against and harassed by a person decrying Zionism and shouting “from the river to the sea.”  So, to me, there is only a very small portion of the time that  anti-Zionism is not antisemitism in effect.
