When a political compromise is reached, the relationship between anti-Zionism and antisemitism will become largely academic. Terminologies will lose their relevance when Jews and Palestinians have equal rights to define their identities and determine their futures.
In its white paper, Understanding Antisemitism at its Nexus with Israel and Zionism, the Nexus Task Force asserts that criticism of Zionism or opposition to Israel’s policies might be antisemitic if it treats Israel “in a negative manner based on a claim that Jews in particular should be denied the right to define themselves as a people and to exercise self-determination.”
