How will Israelis respond to someone claiming that anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism, in the same way as anti-feminism not being misogyny and opposing same-sex marriage not being homophobia?

Both are examples of discrimination. Feminism is the movement for equality for women. Being anti-feminist means you support discrimination of women - misogeny.

Opposing same sex marriage is discriminating against gay people - preventing them a right that straight people have. Prejudice against LGBT - homophobia.

Discrimination against Jews is antisemitism.

Canadians went out of their way to help Americans stranded in Canada after 9.11.2001. Why did Canadians help so much the way they did? We read that Canadians don't particularly like Americans to begin with.

Zionism is the movement to create a national home for the Jewish people. That national home exists - the state of Israel. It is older as a state than other nation states - Austria, the Czech republic, Algeria. Being anti-Zionist means you object the existance of Israel. Of you are against the national homeland for the Jewish people, but don't object national homes for the Austrians, French, Egyptians, Iraqis, Syrians, Germans, Portugeese, Colombians, .Japanese, Koreans, Morroccans.,..,… this is discrimination against Jews.

But anti-feminism is misogeny, and opposing same-sex marriage is homophobia.
