Isn't Zionism about Israel being strictly Jewish though?Again, Sunni are 17% of the citizenship. And as Thor pointed out, many more wish to immigrate for various reasons, including religious reasons, and have difficulty doing so.
It's abhorrent, but not because it's Jewish.

David Icke, David Duke and David Rockefeller are all anti-Semetic because they can't claim ownership of the star of David.It's that petty.
On the other hand, Jonathan Greenblatt is overstepping by insisting ANY criticism of Israel from pro Palestinians is anti semitism. Keeping in mind said support of Muslims includes many Israeli, American, and European jews.

Some crowd at the Kanye gig last night.
The sad thing is he actually did have some points at first, when he agreed with Fredo "Ok, lets stop talking about jews as a group then. I wanna name names, and in my world they all happen to be jews".
And then he self.destructs with the Nazi and Hitler bs.

That sounds like something you've made up, so citation?
While they seem to address that there's a line of legit criticism and antisemitism: https://www.adl.org/blog/crossing-the-line-when-criticism-of-israel-becomes-anti-semitic

It's easy enough to Google, but here's one example;
https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/is-anti-zionism-anti-semitism
Here's one from Greenblatt himself, in the ADL.
https://www.adl.org/news/op-ed/when-criticism-of-israel-becomes-anti-semitism
He claims to make a distinction between legitimate criticism of Israel and anti-Semitism, yet undermines his own argument with baseless claims of anti-Semitism directed against political speech.
A distinction that makes no distinction is no distinction. Who gets to decide when it's legitimate speech or not? Him?
"Thus, we know firsthand that it is absurd to suggest that any criticism of Israel is anti-Semitism.
On the other side of the coin, however, it is equally absurd to suggest that criticism of Israel can never qualify as anti-Semitism." -snip
Seems sensible enough.
Then you have Rightist like Kenye West and Nick Fuentes (recent examples) making absurd claims about Jews as a whole and that drowns out the legitimate critique of how the Israeli government is treating Palestinians.

Kanye West is a clown though. 🙂
I agree it sounds reasonable, my thing is he denounces a group as anti-Semitism in the very same article, without really saying why.
It's all well and good to say you accept criticism of Israel as legitimacy, except for the fact you (Meaning Greenblatt) haven't actually provided examples of this alleged "legitimacy". As opposed to charging any and all targets as anti-semetic.

I think hes making the rightists uncomfortable because hes not playing the rightist propaganda game.
And now the GOP is scrambling to try and distance themselves from Kanye after being up his ass because of optics. How many times is the GOP going to support a deplorable and then try and sweep it under the rug.
They've deleted the Tweet, but the internet remembers. Always remembers.

To be fair hindsight is 50/50, nothing Kanye said before this predicted what he said after.
Because Kanye doesn't have a history of saying deplorable shit? 😂
Republicans need to pick better heroes, just going with "they trigger the Left!" keeps backfiring on them. The GOP is associated closer with Kanye West now, Trump was happy to have him in the White House when he was POTUS and the Right cheered over it, the unhinged clown who praises Hitler and post Swastikas.
