Everyone keeps conflating these two, and it’s quite annoying. And I’ll say it louder for the people in the back: OPPOSING ISRAEL’S INDISCRIMINATE GENOCIDE IS NOT ANTISEMITISM.

No, but as people in this very thread have shown, there are those who use antizionism to justify antisemitism. Advocating for the genocide of Israeli Jews is antisemitic, regardless of the fact that the Israeli government is likewise genocidal.
The answer to “The Nazis are rounding people up in camps to murder them!” is not “Well, let’s just round up all the Germans in camps and murder them.” Likewise, the answer to “Israel is trying to expel or murder all Palestinians from the land of their birth!” is not “Well, let’s expel or murder all Israelis from the land of their birth.”

Zionism, Jewish nationalist movement with the goal of the creation and support of a Jewish national state in Palestine, the ancient homeland of the Jews (Hebrew: Eretz Yisraʾel, “the Land of Israel”)., where antizionism is the opposition to Israeli nationalism.
