tbf, both sides already hated the israeli government for a while now but the hate has just gotten exponentially worse. one side wants to stop a “war” and the other wants to stop a genocide… so not really on the same team, more like the enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but we have kinda the same goal ig.
I’m sure that there are people who do that but most folx who identify as anti-zionists are against Israel as a colonial state, not the existence of Jews. Like there are a ton of Jews who self-identify as anti-Zionist, do you think they use that label to justify some twisted hatred for their own people?
Not at all, no. I think that a principled antizionist stance (i.e. being against colonialism, apartheid, and genocide) is much more common on the left side of the issue though, and that a lot of the right wingers hopping onto it are doing so because they associate israel with Jews and want to attempt to use the antizionist momentum to be antisemitic
