Looks at some of the cases of Anti-Semitism and Zionism as mutually held beliefs, as well as other contradictions, to argue that Anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism are not the same.

Abstract: 

--

Excerpt:

The argument that anti-Zionism is inherently anti-Semitic rests on three pillars. The first is that opposing Zionism is anti-Semitic because it denies to Jews what every other people enjoys: a state of its own. "The idea that all other peoples can seek and defend their right to self-determination but Jews cannot," declared Chuck Schumer in 2017, "is anti-Semitism...."

All the peoples on earth? The Kurds don’t have their own state. Neither do the Basques, Catalans, Scots, Kashmiris, Tibetans, Abkhazians, Ossetians, Lombards, Igbo, Oromo, Uyghurs, Tamils, Quebecois nor dozens of other peoples who have created nationalist movements to seek self-determination but failed to achieve it.
