Are anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism the same thing?

Disputing the right to self-determination is anti-Semitic

Question: Are anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism the same thing?
Position1 of 3›: Anti-Zionism is the same as anti-Semitism
Argument1 of 2›: Disputing the right to self-determination is anti-Semitic

Zionists are standing up for the right to Jewish self-determination. To object to this is anti-Semitic.

The argument

Zionism and the establishment of an Israeli state is the global Jewish community exercising the right to self-determination. To deny Jews of this right to control their political future is inherently anti-Semitic. Nobody would argue that the UK, France, Pakistan or Thailand do not have the right to exist as states. To single out Israel is a manifestation of anti-Semitism. Therefore, anti-Zionism is tantamount to anti-Semitism. The UN General Assembly voted to recognise the state of Israel 72 years ago. The fact that we are still debating its right to exist after all this time is simply a manifestation of anti-Semitism.

Context

At its core, Zionism is the pursuit of Jewish self-determination.

Premises

[P1]Proponents argue that Zionism and the Israeli state are the global Jewish community exercising the right to self-determination, so denying Jews that right is inherently anti-Semitic. [P2] No one disputes the right of states like the UK, France, Pakistan or Thailand to exist, so singling out Israel—72 years after the UN recognised it—is taken as a manifestation of anti-Semitism. [C] Therefore, because disputing the Jewish right to self-determination is anti-Semitic, anti-Zionism is the same as anti-Semitism.

Counter-arguments

[Counter 1] Anti-Zionism does not seek to deny Jews the right to self-determination. It merely disputes the right of the state of Israel to exercise that self-determination at the expense of the Palestinian community. Anti-Zionism, in the purest definition of the term, is the objection to Israeli expansionism and the suppression of the Palestinian people. There is nothing anti-Semitic about it. Nor does it deny Israel's right to exist. It is simply the promotion of equality and Palestinian rights. [Counter 2] Even if anti-Zionists did question Israel's right to existence, it wouldn't be anti-Semitic. Not all ethnicities and religions have the automatic right to a nation-state. The Kurds, Scots, Catalans, Kashmiris, Tibetans, Lombards and Uyghurs do not have a state. They have a right to exist in a pluralistic and tolerant society. But they do not have the right to demand the formation of a nation state.

Rejecting the premises

[Rejecting P1] Anti-Zionism does not criticise the Jewish right to self-determination. [Rejecting P2] Even if it did, it wouldn't be anti-Semitic.

“There can be criticism of the state of Israel, but anti-Semitism - using the word 'Zionist' as another form of anti-Semitism - frankly can no longer be tolerated.”
Emmanuel Macron
“[France seeks to define] anti-Zionism as a modern-day form of anti-Semitism.”
Sylvain Maillard
“It is crucial to say that what is forbidden is to deny the existence of Israel. That has to be made a criminal offense”
David Harris
“If anti-Zionism isn’t a form of anti-Semitism, what is? To deny the Jewish people, of all the peoples on earth, the right to self-determination surely is discriminatory”
Charles Schumer
“The idea that all other peoples can seek and defend their right to self-determination but Jews cannot, is anti-Semitism”
