Anti-Zionism is the opposition to Zionism, which is a political thought that claims the right of self-determination for Jews. Anti-Zionism or Zionism are totally independent of supporting or not the actions of the Israeli government (ask a Labor Zionist if they agrees with Netanyahu Zionism). Even the majority of Zionists are in favor of the two-state solution. To be a Zionist is not necessarily to deny or be against Palestinian self-determination, even the majority of Zionists are in favor of the two-state solution, like Bernie Sanders. Yeah, really.
Anti-Zionism is inherently anti-Semitic, but not all anti-Zionists are anti-Semites, or actual anti-Zionists.

An idelogy formed in opposition to Zionism, which is the belief that Jews have a right to live with self-determination in their ancestral homeland. An Anti-Zionist wants to dismantle or destroy the State of Israel, and believes that Jews should not live in their land.
Anti-Zionism has taken over many progressive spaces. We now see antisemites derailing conversations on racism and Social Justice by shifting the focus to bashing on Israel and promoting radical Islamist and Arab Nationalist propaganda.

Anti-Zionism is the belief that Jews do not deserve the right to self-determination in their ancestral homeland, where they have maintained a continuous presence for over 3,000 years. It is generally exhibited by those who believe in self-determination for most other ethnicities, and as such is inherently anti-Semitic. It refuses to acknowledge that Jews have been persecuted throughout history virtually everywhere they have been minorities and that the existence of the State of Israel provides a safe haven where Jews are free from persecution. Anti-Zionists generally ignore the fact that Israel is an open society where people of all races and religions and even sexual preferences are treated equally, and they often promote falsehoods such as that Jews in Israel get preferential treatment or that Israel is an apartheid society that treats arabs as second class citizens. (It is not and they do not.)
