There is no such thing as anti-zionism. There is zionism and there are zionists.
Those that you label anti-zionist oppose one or many of the below forms of inequality.
Those that you label anti-zionist are anti-racist; they oppose racism in every country.
Those that you label anti-zionist condemn antisemitism since it is a form of racism.
Those that you label anti-zionist condemn the white-supremacy that exists in Israel, North America, UK and Aus.

Those that you label anti-zionist condemn genocide in every country.
Those that you label anti-zionist are anti-terrorism; they oppose terrorism in every country.
Those that you label anti-zionist could also be atheist; we don't believe in god so we definitely don't believe a god granted land to anyone, especially anyone who says god said so, according to the book 'they' wrote.
Those that you label anti-zionist campaign for equality for all people in all countries, not just in Israel and Palestine.
As you can see, there is no actual movement known as antizionism. What you think is anti-zionism is simply people from all walks of life with many different opinions that oppose, condemn or protest against the same unfair practices in every country not just the unfair practices and discrimination that occurs in Israel/Palestine and against Palestinians.

Anti-Zionism is the opposition to Zionism, which is a political thought that claims the right of self-determination for Jews. Anti-Zionism or Zionism are totally independent of supporting or not the actions of the Israeli government (ask a Labor Zionist if they agrees with Netanyahu Zionism). Even the majority of Zionists are in favor of the two-state solution. To be a Zionist is not necessarily to deny or be against Palestinian self-determination, even the majority of Zionists are in favor of the two-state solution, like Bernie Sanders. Yeah, really.
Anti-Zionism is inherently anti-Semitic, but not all anti-Zionists are anti-Semites, or actual anti-Zionists.

An idelogy formed in opposition to Zionism, which is the belief that Jews have a right to live with self-determination in their ancestral homeland. An Anti-Zionist wants to dismantle or destroy the State of Israel, and believes that Jews should not live in their land.
Anti-Zionism has taken over many progressive spaces. We now see antisemites derailing conversations on racism and Social Justice by shifting the focus to bashing on Israel and promoting radical Islamist and Arab Nationalist propaganda.

Anti-Zionism is the belief that Jews do not deserve the right to self-determination in their ancestral homeland, where they have maintained a continuous presence for over 3,000 years. It is generally exhibited by those who believe in self-determination for most other ethnicities, and as such is inherently anti-Semitic. It refuses to acknowledge that Jews have been persecuted throughout history virtually everywhere they have been minorities and that the existence of the State of Israel provides a safe haven where Jews are free from persecution. Anti-Zionists generally ignore the fact that Israel is an open society where people of all races and religions and even sexual preferences are treated equally, and they often promote falsehoods such as that Jews in Israel get preferential treatment or that Israel is an apartheid society that treats arabs as second class citizens. (It is not and they do not.)

Is "Anti-Zionism" is the same as "Anti-Semitism" how am I wrong in saying that the Jews are a racially supremacist world domination amd breeding cult? That's literally what Zionism is.
Hym "I mean... I hate to rub it in your faces again but... If Anti-Zionism and Anti-Semitism are the same thing... I'm right in my assessment of the Jewish religion. It's basically just Nazi-Christianity. Christianity except the Jews are God's chosen people and the Reich will reign for 1000 years... Er- 2000 years. It's literally the same thing as Nazism. It's literally the thing Hitler said about the Germans. He tried to do the same thing."
