Trying to equate Zionism with all Jews is antisemitic by definition. It doesn’t matter if its 50% or 90% of Jewish people who support Zionism. It’s a trap to do so since then you can be dismissed for being antisemitic, which seems to be the case here.
If all you are arguing is that the majority of Jews support Zionism, well that’s probably true. But let’s not fall for the antisemitic trap of judging every member of a religion by the worst examples. Otherwise we are no better than the folks who characterise all muslims as violent terrorists.
So if someone denies that the vast majority of Jews are Zionists nobody is allowed to correct them because that’s “antisemitic”. Got it.
Nice throwing the false Muslim terrorist equation in there but the vast majority of Muslims do not support ISIS or any similar organisation. But if they did would it be Islamophobic to correct someone saying they didn’t?
I think it’s fine to point out that a majority of Jews are Zionists, but the implication that it’s ok to judge an entire religion by it’s worst members, even if they are a majority, is not ok. Because that’s how we people make the leap from “death to Zionists” to “death to Jews”. One is a statement of solidarity with the Palestinian cause. The other is just plain old antisemitism, disguised as social justice.
