Gordon Campbell: On Why Anti-Zionism Is Not Anti-Semitic
To be precise, the term “anti- Zionism” refers to (a) criticism of the political movement that created a modern Jewish state on the historical land of Israel, and to (b)the subjugation of Palestinians by the Israeli state. By contrast, the term “anti-Semitism” means bigotry and racism directed at Jewish people, per se. In a recent speech, US President Joseph Biden treated the two terms as being virtually interchangeable. Big mistake.
