It's important to unpack the history of anti-zionism, specifically its Russian roots: In 1965, the US tried to pass a resolution condemning anti-semitism but the Soviets went crazy because they were persecuting their own Jews. So they threatened to claim that Zionism was racism.
This had nothing to do with anything Israel had done or said. (At the time Israel still had some relations with the USSR)This was an attempt to get Western countries off its back and distract from the fact that the USSR was persecuting Jews.
It was an official strategy of the Stalin government to make use of Pavlovian double-speak, to use words to condition thought. This is textbook Soviet 101. Speaking against zionism was part of that.

So if you do the same keep in mind that it's wrong and its origins are Russian
It's also important to remember that Yasser Arafat was trained and funded by the KGB. That's not a coincidence.
