Sure there can be a link but I don't think it's a general rule From personal experience from anti-zionists in my city it’s often connected. They pointed Israeli Jews as Nazis, denied the Jewish exodus from Arab countries and the more I discussed with them the more they fall into typical Jewish conspiracy theories.

(Jews rule the world etc) Your city sounds pretty anti-Semitic, not necessarily antizionist Most of my family (and some family friends) are antizionist and 90% of them are Jewish, antizionist is a political idea whereas antisemitism is a hateful ideology. It's like claiming that being homophobic and being right-wing are directly linked "through all the tears and all the lies, i'm gonna dance until i feel alright" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like claiming that being homophobic and being right-wing are directly linked That's not a great example because right-wingers are infinitely more likely to be homophobic, but every single leftist I know is an anti-zionist, many of them Jewish, and feel and think the same exact way you're describing. Leftism and anti-zionism is in no way compatible with anti-semitism. Leftism is centered around lifting up oppressed voices, including those of Jewish people.

I completely agree My family are Ashkenazi Jewish and would much rather live at home in Prague or Bratislava than in any Jewish state. I think it's important to break ethnic barriers and show that different races should be compatible and able to live together.
