What's the difference between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism?

there is a distinction between being anti-Jewish and being against either the state of Israel or the policies of the Jewish state.

So,
Anti semitism is an act against a people (jews )and anti zionism is a group against those who protect them.
I did know this a long time ago but did refresh via Google

Antisemitism is a word especially made up as a way to way to block any one who says anything even slightly derogatory about the caste.

I recon antisteveism should be a word. That would give me carte blanche to indulge persecution complexes. To great profit.

Nothing against Jewish people however.

Same as bro, but I am against the inhuman treatment of the Palestinian people by the Zionist state.. Antistevism would be wrong in my book also..

Just what I thought Mike..

There are many more races /people who are treated far worse than jews but the jews have a bigger voice, very in tangled with power people especially in the 39s and 40's and they have a lot of cash! !
Ww2 saw the near annihilation of the race, and don't we know about it! Although sad, they always refer to it, yet you very rarely here them mention the thousands of people across many countries and faiths that freed them, imo.

Yea it's just wrong isn't it.

Totally

I think youve hit the nail on the head there.

they've got a big voice. and loads of wonga.

Definitely Steve, although I'd not wish any harm to them, but they are just people like I wouldn't wish harm to anyone.
Well, maybe some terrorists and horrible people but that's a natural feeling

Yes agreed, some people have trouble identifying who the real terrorists are...

No difference whatsoever.

Anti-Semitism is at least honest in it's hateful purpose.

I have Jewish friends that support the RIGHT to RETURN, and are apposed to illegal settlements also, surely they cannot be Anti-Semite, being apposed to inhumanity does not an anti Semite make...

There is a big thing here in the UK about the labour party leader. very anti but if you think about they are against business and people making money, so it's logical that they don't like them imo

Yes I can see why they get so riled up about the #BDS movement, as I have said before Apartheid wrong in South Africa and wrong in Palestine..

For the sake of history Palestine was a name given to the land of Israel by the Roman Emperor Hadrian (roughly 130 AD). Palestinians are not native to the land of Israel: Jews are. Arabs from Jordan began migrating into Israel during the Ottoman occupation (1500 AD). The name Palestine was a derivative from the Philistine people who immigrated from near Greece around 1400 BC. Originally they had taken over northern Egypt and history labels the as the "Sea People" but were expelled about the same time history shows them appearing in southwest Israel: present day Gaza. Ethnically they were European. They disappeared during the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem in 586 bc.

Thanks for that insight Dave, when did Zionism come about?
