Or you can be anti-Jew and anti-Zionism.

Personally, I do support Israel's right to exist and defend itself. I also support the USA's right to defend itself. I don't pretend that either nation always does so in appropriate ways, and I don't think that the behavior of the enemies of either nation excuses any of that nation's bad behavior.

The only Jews against Zionism are self-deprecating Jews or rabbis who say Jews can't return to their homeland until after the messiah returns. Israel IS a Jewish state. Saying "I don't hate Jewish people, I just hate Israel" is absolutely NO DIFFERENT than saying, "I don't hate Chinese people, I just hate China...and those who say it has the right to exist and defend itself when attacked."
