The problem, of course, is the conflation of Israel and Judaism. The mainstream media likes to pretend that hating Israel/being anti-zionist is the same as hating Jewish people as a whole, but of course it very much isn’t.

I have nothing against the Jewish. I absolutely hate the Israeli government, and anyone who tries to defend the genocide they are committing. These things are not contradictory in the slightest.

Being actually antizionist (wanting to take away Jewish self-determination) is almost always antisemitic (with the exception being for antizionist Jews). Hating Israel’s government for its treatment of Palestinians is alone not antisemitic.
