Question 14.8: Are antisemitism and anti-Zionism the same thing?

                                  Answer:
   
   There is a dangerous confluence between anti-Zionism and antisemitism,
   even though the two concepts are not always identical. Anti-Zionism is
   directed against the political realization of Zionism--the State of
   Israel.
   
   Anti-Zionism has also become a catchword for antisemitism and has
   provided antisemites with a convenient cloak behind which to conceal
   their hatred of Jews.
