Is there a difference between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism?

Many people would have you believe there is. For many reasons, some people abhor the State of Israel. At the same time, they say "we have nothing against the Jews, some of our best friends are Jews." Historically, there has not been a difference. Before the State of Israel existed, the Nazi's railed against the Zionist-Jewish conspiracy. Today, many people mask their prejudice against Jews behind their political opinions on Israel, but in France today, Jews are being targeted because they are Jews, and Israel is the land of the Jews.

All that being said, how do you explain Jews who are anti-Zionist. There is an extremely religious group, the Neturai Kartah, who believe that Israel is "traif" not permissible, because it is the product of man, not the product of G-d. Many of these Jews will not visit the holy land, and the ones who do live there will tell you they live in the holy land or Palestine, but not in Israel. They have as little as possible to do with the Israeli government, and support those who would eliminate the State. (Of course I always wondered if they realized they would be pushed out of their holy land and holy city right along with all the "traif" Israelis.)

I recently received an incredibly depressing series of photographs. I thought at first that they were the product of photoshop, but I am sadly coming to realize that in fact the people who purport to worship the same G-d as I, were indeed standing vigil with the Palestinians outside the hospital where Yasser Arafat lay, hoping that he would not die, so that he could continue his fight to dismantle the State of Israel. For more information, take a look at www.netureikarta.org.

Just looking at the ideas promulgated on this site makes me feel dirty.... Please know, these are not my Jews!!
