    That’s because anti-zionism is used as an excuse to be antisemitic more than it’s a legitimate criticism of the Israeli government or state. It’s the “I have a black friend” of Jewish hate.

      Antisemites hardly need to hide behind anti-Zionism when there are plenty of antisemitic Zionists. It would be counter-productive if they did, because antisemites would love to see Jews removed from their country, and why not removed to Israel?
