• Opinion: When anti-Zionism is — and is not — antisemitism

  16-04-2024 14:05 via sltrib.com
  
  Recent weeks have seen considerable public attention to the question of whether anti-Zionism is antisemitism. Some say anti-Zionism is always antisemitism. Others say they are two completely different things. For example, the owner of a local bar claims that “it’s not antisemitic to be anti-Zionist” as he declares “no Zionists allowed” at his establishment.In my view, both sides of this debate are mistaken, because they fail to make a crucial distinction between Jew
