I won't dispute your arguments directly, Jim. But would be grateful to know the source of your piece on Zionism. It is not wikipedia; which says, inter-alia, for your interest

"Critics of Zionism consider it a colonialist[3] or racist[4] movement. Some scholars consider certain forms[5][6] of opposition to Zionism to constitute Antisemitism.[7][8]"

Stringy ~ The tired old rubric about antisemitism meaning Arabs as well because they are all Semites is unworthy your intelligence. You know perfectly well what 'antisemitism' means in normal Englsih usage. If you don't, try any decent dictionary. If you find anti-Arabism included among any of their definitions, I will give you a nice red apple.

Just a couple from online dictionaries -
...
an·ti-Sem·ite (nt-smt, nt-)
n.
One who discriminates against or who is hostile toward or prejudiced against Jews.

Definition of ANTI-SEMITISM
: hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group
