Anti-Semitism and Anti-Zionism

 

If we refer to enemies of Israel as anti-Semites, then the term no longer implies infamy, the universal condemnation that strikes the Nazi anti-Semitism of the racial laws culminating in the Holocaust. It is not shameful for Ukrainians to be anti-Russian, for Kurds to be anti-Turkish, for Armenians to be anti-Azerbaijani, and likewise it is not shameful for Palestinians (Arabs in general) to be anti-Semitic (in the sense of being anti-Israel). Both anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism target Jews nonetheless, albeit for opposing reasons: the former because they would contaminate the Aryan race (Westerners), the latter because they are seen as a tool of the Westerners.
