#I've seen a lot of headlines lately about a rise of antisemitism around the world and I'm getting so sick of it

Really wish the media would learn the difference between Judaism, Jewish, Zionism, and Israeli.
Judaism is a an ethno-religion
Jewish/Jew is an ethnicity and/or person who practices Judaism
Zionism is a nationalistic political movement
Israeli is a nationality
Someone is not automatically antisemitic if they support Palestine! Antisemitism is the prejudice against Jews, who either practice Judaism, a religion, or are ethnically Jewish.
Someone who practices Judaism is Jewish, but someone who is Jewish does not necessarily practice Judaism.
Someone who is Israeli is not automatically Jewish or Zionist. That's like saying all Brazilians are Christian or all Americans are nationalists. Sounds absurd, right?
Someone who is Zionist is not automatically Israeli or Jewish! Many Jews around the world aren't Zionist! Your non-Jewish, non-Israeli neighbour could be Zionist! I see it all the time in conservative circles!
None of these are the same! 🙅‍♀️
