How will Israelis respond to someone claiming that anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism, in the same way as anti-feminism not being misogyny and opposing same-sex marriage not being homophobia?

How will Israelis respond to someone claiming that anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism, in the same way as anti-feminism not being misogyny and opposing same-sex marriage not being homophobia?

But anti-feminism is misogeny, and opposing same-sex marriage is homophobia.

Zionism is the movement to create a national home for the Jewish people. That national home exists - the state of Israel. It is older as a state than other nation states - Austria, the Czech republic, Algeria. Being anti-Zionist means you object the existance of Israel. Of you are against the national homeland for the Jewish people, but don't object national homes for the Austrians, French, Egyptians, Iraqis, Syrians, Germans, Portugeese, Colombians, .Japanese, Koreans, Morroccans.,..,… this is discrimination against Jews.

Discrimination against Jews is antisemitism.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

Opposing same sex marriage is discriminating against gay people - preventing them a right that straight people have. Prejudice against LGBT - homophobia.

Both are examples of discrimination. Feminism is the movement for equality for women. Being anti-feminist means you support discrimination of women - misogeny.
