You said, In post 43, and I quote:

"When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews"....

So I asked you.... IF there are people who are zionists and are not Jewish, like Christian Zionists? Isn't is possible that Zionism is an ideology and not a race?

and if it is an "idea" held be people of different races couldnt someone be aginst that idea without being a racist.... or an "anti-semite" if you prefer? Is that clear? What do you think?

Post 43

............

Actually, it's likely a hoax, though the sentiment is his [Martin Luther King]. Jewish-History.com: "Letter to an Anti-Zionist Friend"

He [Martin Luther King]did say in a speach at Harvard

When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews, You are talking anti-Semitism.

In the context of his speach, and the purported letter, he's absolutely right.

As to Isn't is possible that Zionism is an ideology and not a race? , of course Zionism is an ideology, the belief that it's proper for a Jewish nation to exist. It's never been associated with a any race.

Could someone be against that concept, without being a racist, as long as he's opposed to an American nation, open the borders, opposed to an Arab nation, a Russion nation, in fact any nation, sure, he might not be a racist.

If he's only opposed to the existance of a Jewish nation, likely he's an antisemite.
