Not everything you imagine is true. You are a Zionist. You are offended by the opposition. So instead of thinking why people are opposing Zionism for real, you invent that they just hate Jews. So people oppose ideologies and political positions just out of hate, not for moral and conscientious reasons?
The Jewish State of Israel has been built at the expense of rich diasporic culture and strong Jewish communities in Europe and the Middle East. Zionists ruined these communities, in order to force Jews to either immigrate to Israel or to worship Israel in Europe. But of course, Jewry and Jewish people perfectly thrive where they are born and rooted, without any need of any special State. Especially at the cost of other human beings in the region. Millions of Jews reject Zionism and Israel as an artificial, racist construct. They do not wish to be separated from Gentiles, like in a zoo. They do not wish to be superior, special, Ubermenschen. They do not with to oppress and expel others for being non-Jewish. Zionism is a cult of exclusion, separation, oppression and supremacism. Plus, of course, nobody wishes any "death to Jews" - not Hamas, not Iran, not Hezbollah, not Palestinian people, not anti-Zionists. What they want, is the end of race-religious-supremacy and equality for all people in the region. And of course to impose on the world a narrative that "Jews" (all Jews!) are entitled to do what constitutes crimes against humanity and unfathomable racist-religious oppression - THAT is antisemitic indeed, to claim that such backward, inhumane ideology must be supported by all Jews in the world! Fortunately, Zionism is not supported today at all. It has power to bomb, shoot, censor, persecute, imprison, blackmail, suppress, smear, rob people of career, income, homes, take away people's families, destroy schools, hospitals, theaters, universities, libraries, churches, mosques, etc. - but it has no power to coerce people to support it.
