  J. Aboolowos is WRONG!! The existence of Israel is NOT of personal
importance to the security of jews everywhere. 
Throughout history, Jews existed, prospered and integrated in all
nations and societies all over the world. Often, they provided the
financial business strata of the societies where they lived.
Even today, more jews live outside Israel than inside. Most of them
have no desire to emigrate to Israel. If you do not believe me,
ask any american jewish. 
True, the european and particularly the german jewry experienced a
truly traumatic event during the 30's in Nazi Germany. 
The creation of Israel is the result of the Holocaust.Preriod.
Without the Holocaust, the zionists would not have enough motivation
to drive the persecuted european jews to Palestine.

Conclusion :
 Anti-Israel is NOT anti-zionist and certainly NOT antisemitic.
