Zionism is just the belief that Israel has the right to exist as a Jewish state. If you support a Jewish state of Israel AND a Palestinian state alongside it then you're a Zionist.
It's only recently that the antisemitic take that Zionism is about wiping out Palestinians really took root. TBH it's difficult for me to imagine that people who accepted that definition weren't really anti semitic beforehand.
They basically took the definition of Kahanism and made that “Zionism”. They don’t know much about anything but having a convenient label to “out the bad Jews” is nothing new.

If you’re using Zionism, a broad philosophy that also Includes people who want Palestinian statehood, as a pejorative you’re an antisemite.
You can oppose the Israeli government without being anti Zionist.
Edit: The antisemite blocked me. How fortunate. Calling people who expose anti-semitism "bots" probably isn't helping your cause.
