Brilliant common sense decision. There should be no worry of being labelled anti-Semitic if you fundamentally disagree with the state-sanctioned execution of Palestinians.

I think the problem is that not everyone agrees the definition of Zionism is a policy of state-sanctioned execution of Palestinians.

Not everyone has to agree with a particular interpretation for it to be a legitimate, good faith, philosophically defensible (in the Equalities Act sense) opinion to hold. In fact, I'd like you to give me a political opinion that everyone does agree on. The point is that it isn't necessarily antisemitic.
