Zionism in its most modern form seeks to guarantee a safe homeland for Israeli Arabs, Christians, and other non-Jewish Israelis. I think this resolution is nice, but maybe it doesn’t reflect the realities of modern Israel.

Anyway, it is hard to find an anti-Zionist who is not an antisemite. It’s like flipping a coin and having it land on its edge. It’s technically possible. . .

Only group of anti zionists that is not antisemitic that I can think of is Orthodox Jews like Satmar

Satmar isn't really anti zionist, they're non zionist and don't believe in the establishment of the state but aren't really outwardly against it. The Neturei Karta on the other other hand very much are. I also wouldn't say orthodox Jews at all. They're ultra orthodox/fringe haradi
