One of these days we as a species really need to learn that Zionism and Semitism are not the same Venn circle.

Not all Zionists are Semitic (or even Jewish) and not all Semites (or even Jews) are Zionists.

Now, it’s obviously extremely easy to conflate Zionism with Semitism, and vice versa, which is a trap both the actual antisemites and those most likely to point and yell “antisemite” seem wont to fall into.

Personally I’d call that borderline antisemitic, since in either case it’s conflating an ethno-nationalist political agenda with both an ethnicity and a nationality that may not subscribe to or support that political agenda at all.
