If you want my perspective, anti-genocide advocacy can and should be our focus, and we should make it abundantly clear that that's what we're talking about.
While I'm also an anti-Zionist, (I don't believe in ethnostates in general, especially not ethnostates built by displacing and discriminating against native populations) I don't believe that's exactly a winnable battle at the moment, and advocating for such an extremely controversial opinion in tandem with something that IS a winnable fight (anti-genocide) has, actually, done tangible damage to the anti-genocide cause.
This is not to say we should stop holding anti-Zionist beliefs and should stop trying to expand the anti-zionist network in our personal lives, rather that letting anti-zionism BECOME SYNONYMOUS with the anti-genocide movement is actively shrinking the coalition of a potentially successful movement.
As for anti-semites?
NAZI PUNKS FUCK OFF

As many have pointed out in the comments, yes, Zionism is ultimately and inseparably tied to the Palestinian genocide. In the long term, the idea of a Jewish ethnostate (especially one built at the expense of Palestinians) must be abandoned, as ethnostates built on native backs always involve displacement and oppression. I'm not arguing against this point, instead, I'm making the case that convincing people to abandon the ethnostate project altogether isn't a sell you can currently make in places (like the US and Israel specifically) where the *majority opinion* is still "Israel has a right to defend itself."

Luis Leon was finally located thousands of miles away in Guatemala after he went to a Philadelphia immigration office to simply replace a lost green card. Instead of being helped, Leon was detained, kidnapped, and deported by ICE.

I don't normally like posting rage-inducing stuff like this, but I think a lot of people really, REALLY don't understand/know about the evil that ICE is doing to innocent people, and it's important to share those stories every so often.
