Many thought that we had finally defeated the idea that Zionism is racism in 1991, when the UN revoked its infamous anti-Zionist resolution. But that is no longer the case.

The US State Department defines antisemitism as, in part, a form of racism directed at Israel, due to the use of double standards and other discriminatory practices.
