In this video, Israeli-American activist and author Miko Peled draws a sharp distinction between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. He argues that anti-Semitism is a form of racism, while anti-Zionism represents opposition to racism, settler colonialism, and injustice. According to Peled, the two positions are fundamentally different—one rooted in prejudice, the other in political and moral critique. He goes further to suggest that opposing Zionism, in his view, is a stance people of conscience should consider.
