Brother, don’t mix up zionism and judaism, that’s really antisemitic.
Zionism is an ethnocultural nationalist movement to establish and support a Jewish homeland through colonization in the region of Palestine. Most zionists are Christians in Europe and the USA.
So saying “don’t confuse Zionism with Judaism” is correct, but only whenwe also acknowledge that Zionism itself isn’t monolithic and doesn’t map perfectly onto any single religious or political identity.
Some Zionists will support a two-state solution, others might support a Jewish-nation-state and others a more secular(culturally Jewish) nation. Some Israelis and Jews are anti-Zionist. And some people are zionists while abhoring what’s happening in Palestine and don’t hesitate to sharply condemn Israel’s actions.
But I used it in quotes for that very reason. Some people bitching and whining about Zionists seem rather antisemitic. That was the point. Anti-zionism, for some, is just antisemitism with a new label.
