Does anti-Zionism necessarily lead to anti-Semitism? | Inside Story

Israel's war on Gaza has increased both anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism worldwide.
While neither term is new, anyone who criticises Israel for its actions in Gaza is often labelled as anti-Semitic.
Israeli leaders in particular have conflated condemnation of the response to the Hamas-led attacks on October the 7th as both anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist.
Analysts argue that blurring the difference helps Israel undermine any opposition to -- or rejection of -- its policies.
Israel is accused of weaponising the two terms - to justify its attacks on Gaza and other Palestinian territories.
But with no end in sight to the conflicts in the Middle East, what are the dangers of -- and the fallout from -- confusing anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism?
