I think it's unfair to call anti-semites "anti Zionist". I know what you are
getting at here, but it isn't really anti-Zionist to promote hatred of
Jewish people, but in fact profoundly pro-Zionist, as it gives legitimacy to
the raison d'etre of Zionism: "Jews aren't welcome or safe in Europe or
anywhere in the gentile world and therefore need to create a homeland", the
main anti-Semitic organising plank of Zionism.

This perhaps seems overly picky, but I do believe we need to be careful not
to include anti-Semites in our list of anti-Zionists--- those like us.
