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?

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.
Both are examples of discrimination. Feminism is the movement for equality for women. Being anti-feminist means you support discrimination of women - misogeny.
Discrimination against Jews is antisemitism.
Opposing same sex marriage is discriminating against gay people - preventing them a right that straight people have. Prejudice against LGBT - homophobia.
But anti-feminism is misogeny, and opposing same-sex marriage is homophobia.
