 | | Zionism’s response, on the other hand, was one of resignation to anti-Semitism and at times even collaboration with it. | | | Zionism simply refers to support for the existence of a Jewish state—specifically, the state of Israel.… The harsh but undeniable truth is that what some like to call anti-Zionism is, in reality, anti-Semitism—always, everywhere and for all time. | | | As a result, Zionism was at the very least resigned to anti-Semitism, while some major strands within the movement consciously articulated a common interest, and in fact the benefit of anti-Semitic and even fascistic ideas to Zionism. |

(Jewish branches.) | | | The ACL considers political Zionism as it relates to the changeover to communitarian programs and laws in the U.S. Much to the dismay of some Christian Zionists, we consider Israeli political influence on Christianity. |

| | Jewish Criticism of Zionism |
| | Montagu based his argument on the fact that both Zionism and anti-Semitism were based on the premise that Jews and non-Jews could not co-exist. | | | Reform Jews in the United States were also opposed to Zionism. | | | They are opposed to Zionism and the very existence of the Zionist state because Zionism seeks to change the essence of Judaism and substitute chauvinism and militarism and loyalty to the Zionist state for the lofty and unchangeable principles of the Jewish faith. |

| | In fact, to be a decent Jew one has to be opposed to the political programme of zionism and be therefore anti-zionist precisely in the sense that in order to be a decent South African Christian one had to be anti-apartheid and that being anti-apartheid did not mean being anti-Christian or pro-devil or anti-White. | | | The racism of political Zionism is a perfectly coherent system which inspires all the laws and all the practices of the State of Israel. | | | Zionism must be challenged and dismantled, as Apartheid was. |

| | In other cases, Zionism is confounded with the anti-Semitic forgery, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and it is claimed that the Protocols were the resolutions of the first Zionist congress. | | | In other cases, it is clear that anti-Semitic slogans were borrowed and transposed to "Zionism," as for example, "The 'Zionists' control the government," "the 'Zionists' control the media," 'Zionists' have too much power in our country. | | | Anti-Zionism often deliberately confounds Zionist extremist ideology with all of Zionism, claiming that "Zionism" aims to dispossess the Arabs of all of Palestine and expand the borders of Israel indefinitely. |

| | Anti-Zionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Anti-Zionism is often characterized by opposition to the existence of the State of Israel as a Jewish state, for instance by those who advocate a binational state comprising the territories of the State of Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, in which both Jews and Palestinians would be citizens. | | | Anti-Zionist positions have in common some form of opposition to Zionism, but their diversity in terms of motivation and expression is so great that anti-Zionism cannot be seen as a single phenomenon. | | | In Islam and the Problem of Israel (1980), he argued that Zionism was a "disease" largely influenced by European romanticism far removed from the religion of the Jews, Judaism. |

| | Zionism, writes Shahak, "can be described as a mirror image of anti-Semitism," since it, like the anti-Semites, holds that Jews are everywhere aliens who would best be isolated from the rest of the world. | | | Moreover, "both anti-Semites and Zionism assume anti-Semitism is ineradicable and inevitable." This attitude among Zionist Jews led to a capitulation to anti-Semitism in Europe, in lieu of a conviction to rally the world's liberal forces against it. | | | Given Zionism's premises, it is unsurprising that Arabs would have been seen as obstacles to be swept away ruthlessly and that the state of Israel would be run ostensibly for the benefit of "the Jewish people," no matter the cost in the fives and liberties of non-Jews. |

| | Anti-Zionism and Anti-Semitism - Robert Wistrich |
| | For example, "anti-Zionists" who insist on comparing Zionism and the Jews with Hitler and the Third Reich appear unmistakably to be de facto anti-Semites, even if they vehemently deny the fact! | | | This is the aim of "progressive" anti- Zionism, which, unlike the classic forms of racist anti-Semitism is not ethnically nationalist or völkisch. | | | Since the 1960s, the PLO has worked hard to totally delegitimize Zionism and the policy has largely succeeded: this anti-Zionism involves a total negation of Jewish nationhood and legitimate Jewish sovereignty in Eretz Israel, a denial of the link between Judaism and the land, or of the existence of the two Jewish temples in Jerusalem. |
