Yes, anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism

237. That's the argument made in the OP, however

That Jews who do not accept Zionism - mind you, Zionism as defined by Michael Harris - are self-hating Jews. i.e, "auto-antisemites," not-really-Jews, whose opinion doesn't matter.

And it's that particular definition, that version of Zionism espoused by the sorts of people like Michael Harris, that causes the problems. Anti-zionism is not about the existence of Israel. It exists and it will continue to do so until it doesn't, just like any other nation. The problem is that Zionism, the variety practiced by Israel, and as advocated by Harris, and by Shira, and many others... Is not about there being a Jewish homeland. it's about there not being a Palestinian homeland. It's about "finishing the job", pushing the Gazans into the sea and the West bank Palestinians into the desert. Zionism, as exercised, is not about benefit and prosperity to Jewish people, but rather about oppression and disenfranchisement of Palestinian people.

Jewish national rights do not have to come at the expense of other people. The loudest troop of Zionists however, insist that this is mandatory. As I said, there are many varieties of Zionism. The one promulgated by Mr. Harris and so many other anti-Palestinians is nothing but a fig leaf, a smiley face to cover for their overwhelming hatred of the Palestinians.

And nice dismissal of Jews who don't share your politics, by the way. If you want to shit on leftists, I suggest you slither your shit back to freerepublic or atlas shrugs, wherever your usual hangout is, 'cause DU ain't the sort of place to go in that direction.
