Answer:

in the explanation read it :]

Step-by-step explanation:

•Anti-Semitism is "hostility and prejudice directed against Jewish people" (OED).

•Zionism refers to the movement to create a Jewish state in the Middle East, roughly corresponding to the historical land of Israel, and thus support for the modern state of Israel. Anti-Zionism opposes that.

•But some say "Zionist" can be used as a coded attack on Jews, while others say the Israeli government and its supporters are deliberately confusing anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism to avoid criticism.
