Jew hatred
Yeah, I know what you are thinking. Arabs are Semites too! Well, unfortunately, in 1879, Wilhelm Marr decided that the German word "Judenhass" (Jew-hatred) was to evil to describe his hate, so he coined the term "antisemetism."

Zionist = Someone who believes that Jews have the same rights as everyone else to self-determine.
Anti-Zionist = Someone who believes that Jews do not have the same rights as everyone else to self-determine.
Anti-Semitic = Someone who is against Semites, but by the usual definition Jews.
If this definition of Anti-Zionism dose not fit you and you consider yourself an Anti-Zionist, you are probably not actually an Anti-Zionist.

A country founded in 1948 as part of a UN resolution recognizing Jewish self-determination.
The day it was founded, there was a big mess and the nations of Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt invaded Israel and lost, thus losing parts of the area dedicated to Palestinians in a war that they themselves started.

Palestine is a modification of the name given to the land of Judea by the Romans in 70 CE, which was "Palistina"
It was occupied by various foreign empires including the Ottoman and British Empires, until 1947's UN resolution 181 which offered states relatively of equal size to the native Arabs and Jews. When the Arabs said no, the Jewish faction took their half and immediately were attacked by their neighbors. They won. Israel attacked again in 1967 in preemptive strike. They won. They were attacked in 1973. They won. Then the Arabs were offered a state in the Oslo Accords. They said no. In 2005, Israel forcibly evicted it's citizens from Gaza, and when Palestinian elections were held, Hamas won and brutally murdered its political opponents. Here we are today.
