The definition has been heavily criticised by academics, including legal scholars, who say that it stifles free speech relating to criticism of Israeli actions and policies. High-profile controversies took place in the United Kingdom in 2011 within the University and College Union,[note 1] and within the Labour Party in 2018. The definition has been contested for weaknesses that critics say lend themselves to abuse,[10][11][note 2] for obstructing campaigning for the rights of Palestinians, and for being too vague. Kenneth S. Stern, who contributed to the original draft, has opposed the weaponization of the definition on college campuses in ways that might suppress and limit free speech.[13][14] The controversy over the definition led to the creation of the Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism and the Nexus Document, both of which expressly draw distinctions between antisemitism and criticism of Israel.[8]
Will you look at that, it’s criticized for not making a distinction between antisemitism and criticism of Israel, you know, because criticizing a country doesn’t mean hating its citizen or people ethnically related to them.
If hating the State of Israel makes you racist it means that you think Israel represents all Jews, if Israel represents all Jews then all Jews are racists because Israel hates most of its neighbor States and, as you said, hating a State is racist. You love Israel and you love Jews therefore you love racists therefore you can go fuck yourself.
If you think the Jewish people doesn’t a right of self determination in their ancestral homeland, it makes you racist, yes. Every people has that right according to the UN charter. How the Jewish people choose to exercise that right is their choice, and they chose the state of Israel. Denying the Jewish people the right to self determination is racist of course.

Of course it’s criticized, that’s the nature of discourse.
However, it’s also widely accepted by major organizations.
People who hide their antisemitism under an antizionist fig leaf are of course upset to be called out.

Nah man, I’m applying the same logic you are, you support a racist State that represents millions of racist people, go fuck yourself.
