I agree...
One thing you'll find about the anti-Zionist crowd here, Godsend, is that we are very much aware (I speak for myself but perhaps for others) that there is a perception that anti-Zionism is just a cover for actual dislike of Jews. I realize many will think this is about being politically correct but it is much more than that. When a prime tactic of Zionists is to convince Jews that they are universally hated and distrusted by non-Jews, however well-intentioned one's rhetoric it is not always clear that one of two things might be the case: 1) the speaker of the rhetoric actually DOES dislike Jews qua Jews, or 2) the speaker of the rhetoric is a Zionist agent trying to create the impression that a given community is OK with people who dislike Jews qua Jews.
That said, this is a forum dedicated to the free exchange of ideas and I intend to do my best to keep it that way. If someone thinks that Judaism itself is one big conspiracy serving Satan, and can argue so rationally without making unfounded generalizations, then by all means they should make their case. The community here will, though, reserve the right to disagree, down-vote, and otherwise make clear the difference between anti-Zionism and legitimate critiques of Judaism on th eone hand, and deliberately divisive rhetoric not conducive to constructive dialogue.
Not saying you are doing anything of the kind or that you should "wtch what you say", just warning you that there are a LOT of humanists here who see as much of a problem with Zionism as they do with opposition to it that might, in their view, sound like it is motivated by something other than a universalist concern for all humanity! :)
