Therefore, I declare myself a Zionist, because I defend the existence of the State of Israel, despite not being Jewish (I am a Catholic Christian) nor a citizen of Israel (I am Spanish). It is astonishing to see that Israel is the only democratic country whose existence is systematically questioned by many people, turning its very defense —Zionism— into an object of demonization. There are around fifty countries in the world with a Muslim majority. Some of them have Islam as their official doctrine and even impose Islamic law on the entire population. In the West, there are no political movements questioning the existence of these countries or calling for their destruction, as there are in relation to the only Jewish state in the world, which is Israel.

The issue this article totally ignores is that it casually conflates being anti-semitic with being anti-Israel or anti-Zionist.

To be against Israel or against the political ideology of Zionism is categorically not the same thing as being anti-semitic, even if you disagree with my politics you simply CANNOT argue otherwise as I am simply pointing out that to be bigoted towards jewish people is a seperate concept from having a political ideology about a country. What makes you anti-semitic is when you believe someone is lesser for being jewish, which again is a religion not a country.

It is extremely dangerous to conflate the politics of a country with the politics of a religion and it always ends badly for everyone involved when people do so.

The defeat of Israel’s enemies has never meant the disappearance of any country: Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, and Yemen have fought against Israel in the past, and their defeat did not lead to their disappearance. The defeat of Israel would mean its disappearance as a country and a new extermination of Jews.

In particular this conclusion is not supported by any evidence, it is simply asserted.
