For argument's sake, let's take Israel haters at their word that they have no problem with Jews, only Zionists.

So some buy who calls himself "Bobby Vylan" leads a large crowd in a chant. broadcast on live TV, "Death to the IDF!"

No problem, right? He's not calling or death to Jews, so it is OK, right?

And then, a few days later, this happens in Melbourne:

A group of anti-Israeli protesters have terrorised shocked diners by storming a restaurant in Melbourne's CBD - as an arsonist targeted a nearby synagogue.

The chaotic scenes unfolded at the Israeli-owned Miznon eatery on Hardware Lane, where up to 20 protesters hurled chairs, food, and glassware at the venue while chanting 'Death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)'.

Footage shared online showed the breakaway group throwing traffic bollards by passing cars and yelling expletives on their way to the restaurant after a separate protest involving 80 pro-Palestine in nearby Swanston Street.

When the masked protesters arrived at Miznon, diners can be heard screaming as furniture and tables are overturned.
"Death to the IDF" was not exactly a common chant heard at protests before last week.

And now it is used to attack diners at an Israeli owned restaurant.

No Chinese restaurants were attacked this way during Tiananmen Square. No Palestinian restaurants were attacked after October 7. No, somehow, only Israelis, Israeli food, Israeli people (but only Israeli Jews) are allowed to be attacked because they are "Israeli."

And at the same time, in the same city, a synagogue was firebombed while people were inside. Must be coincidence, right?

Unhinged hate of "Zionists" is unhinged hate for 90% of Jews. The motivations, conspiracy thinking, and crazed justifications for attacks are identical. It is no more moral than when the Soviet Union claimed they were only targeting "rootless cosmopolitans." 

The excuse that they aren't antisemitic is not just disingenuous - it is an excuse to violently attack whoever they define as  "Zionists." And in the end, even according to their own twisted logic, "anti-Zionism" is just as evil and violent as old fashioned antisemitism.
