Well, that may be so, but the following identity is TRUE:

anti-Israel = anti-Zionist = antisemitic

Reason:  The existence of Israel allows Jews everywhere the
security of a homeland... or even a refuge (need I mention
the case of Russian Jews who may soon be allowed to leave
Soviet Russia ONLY because they will go to Israel?).

To spell it out, anyone who is anti-Israel is in favor
of compromising the sovereignity of the State of Israel,
the existence of which is of personal importance to
the security of Jews everywhere.
