Anyone conflating being anti-Zionist with being antisemitic isn't being reasonable.

I would argue it's pretty antisemitic to think that Israel speaks for all Jewish people.

Israel doesn't exist just because of or for Zionists. Or do you propose everyone who was born there but happens to not be a Palestinian should leave the country?

It exists to be a unsinkable US aircraft carrier parked at the crossroads of Asia, Africa and Europe. It's an ethnostate where non-jews are disenfranchised and nonwhite Jews are sterilized.

Jews, Christians and Muslims coexisted in Palestine long before the European colony arrived.

Fucking Germans I swear

No, I advocate for them to demand a single Democratic state with Democratic rights for everyone, regardless of ethnicity. Since, you know, they've intentionally done everything possible to kill a two state solution.

Otherwise, they promote an apartheid vision for the region.

Also, it does exist solely because of Zionists. Where do you think it came from?
