What is Antisemitism?
Antisemitism is racism, hostility, prejudice, vilification, discrimination or violence, including hate crimes, directed against Jews, as individuals, groups or as a collective – because they are Jews. Its expression includes attributing to Jews, as a group, characteristics or behaviours that are perceived as dangerous, harmful, frightening or threatening to non-Jews.

More on Antisemitism
Antisemitism exists across the political spectrum, but, particularly in its most violent forms, it comes primarily from the political right.
There are many Zionists who are antisemitic, such as Donald Trump.
Some antisemites use anti-Zionism as a cover, which must be condemned and fought against. However, this does not change that being anti-Zionist is not inherently antisemitic nor does it discredit the overwhelming majority of the anti-Zionist movement.
