An error message appears saying "The following are not allowed: no zionist, no zionists" when users try to add the phrase to their bios, but any number of other phrases about political and religious preferences are allowed.
Zionism is not anti-semitism for a very simple reason, being against the apartheid state of Israel and its genocide of Palestinians has nothing to do with being against Jews or Judaism. They are seperate concepts period, end of story.
Judging by the rest of your comment, I think you meant anti-zionism is not anti-semitism.
Personally I’ve always found it quite antisemitic to prescribe all people of the Jewish faith the opinions of the state of Israel, and in turn hold them accountable for the states actions.
When people say anti Zionism is equivalent antisemitism that’s what they are doing, and in turn removing all agency from people of the Jewish faith.
I have yet to ask people who make the argument about this though, but I assume it’d be a shitstorm.

With that said, I agree wholeheartedly.

For sure. Zionism itself is very anti-Semitic for that reason.
I was correcting a typo in the post above.
I don’t agree that zionism is anti-semitic per se, because it’s possible to be a zionist without implying all jews are zionists.
Sorry, it wasn’t meant to be directed at you as if you held the opinion. I can see how it could be read like that.
It was meant as more of an apropos to your comment.
oops yes thank you!
