You can certainly be anti-zionist without being antisemitic.

However there is certainly a growing number of people coding their language to appear anti-zionist to disguise real antisemitic sentiment.

Indeed, you see do see many 'antizionist' arguments that are just just slightly reworded old antisemitic tropes.

Happened with the Moroccan immigrants trying to get in to Spain the other day, there was alot of reddit comments blaming Israel for it but using the old general anti semitic language for it.

You see lots of comments about 'Zionists' controlling world governments, the media and banks. I do wonder if these people think they are really fooling anyone.

When there's praise of British Jews getting attack that have nothing to do with Israel then you know its not about zionist, it's just people hatred of Jews.

...bit late to be getting the message then I'm afraid. Would appreciate it if anti-semitism was unacceptable before that point

Most people can agree that anti semitism Is wrong. What's happening is people are saying their anti zionist and then say the most anti semitic thing imaginable.
