None of us even slightly surprising. We see repeatedly that anti-Zionism is identical to Antisemitism in its execution, strategy, and cause as pure Antisemitism. The claim that it’s about Jews and not Israel is only believable to the ignorant and antisemitic. It’s actually absolutely absurd. This incident is just the latest example. Jews need to wake up. Antisemitism never declined-it just became less socially acceptable. Now it’s not only acceptable, but lauded by some to the point that it’s even “hip” among certain groups to hate Jews.

Anti-Semitism 101 - for "Anti-Zionists" | Eric Blumenthal | The Blogs | The Times of Israel

“I am not anti-Semitic, I just don’t support Israel! I love the Jews, I have been to Shabbat dinner before! I just think Zionism is wrong.”

As a senior graduating this May from Binghamton University, the above statement is quite common to hear on my campus and around the world. The line between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism seems to be blurry for many people, but this should not be the case.

This is a VERY important article. The most common claim of the current crop of Israel haters is that they are not antisemitic, just "anti-Zionist." Of course, that claim is completely absurd, but we need to understand it and have an articulate response to it.
