Jew-hatred is never rational, has metamorphosed over the centuries and your attempt to explain or rationalize bigotry fails. The problem with defining these anti-Zionists as not antisemitic is that these leftists are in fact bigots. You choose to define their bigotry as something other than Jew-hatred, though their hatred is entirely directed towards Jews. Antisemites always have had their reasons for hating Jews: they killed Christ, they reject Christ, they are capitalists, they are communists, they are rich, they are poor, they are unassimilated or they are posing as Germans. These leftists hate Jews because they are white, because they are rich, they are settlers and because they are Zionists, even those such as Chen who are not Zionists.

So following the logic of anti-Colonialism vs anti-Semitism, as you seem to be suggesting it, the people who dislike Jews for kidnapping Christian children to kill and make Matzah are not really anti-Semitic, they just dislike people who kidnap Christian children in general, some of whom happen to be Jews. Or am I missing something?
