The definition used by German authorities subsumes ~~antizionism, i.e.~~ denying Israel's right to exist as a special form of antisemitism.
It is quite reductive to say anti-zionism is just denying the right of Israel to exist. Yes, the state of Israel is a deeply zionist project but you can accept the reality of this state existing and still be opposed to the idea of zionism in general.
I am opposed to the idea of colonialism in general but still accept the existence of states with a colonial history.
That's a good point. I've always thought antizionism and denying Israel's right to exist where somehow identical.
