No matter how many times they try to make it sound like the same thing, anti-zionism is very distinctly not antisemitism.
In fact, it's extremely anti-Semitic to imply. It's the old racist belief that Jewish people are eternal foreigners, always suspect and with dual loyalty. If Israel and Judaism are synonyms, then you're arguing that every Jewish person in the US is an agent of a hostile foreign power. This is literally the logic that lead to the Japanese internment camps in WW2. It's the belief that every Jewish person owes fealty to Israel. According to anti-Semites like this, Jewish people can never be true Americans. They have innate loyalty to Israel simply because of their race.
