Summary
Opposition to Zionism was characterized as anti-Semitic by a number of Western governments. An intergovernmental association numbering thirty-four states adopted a definition of anti-Semitism that included as anti-Semitism: “Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.” Criticism of policies of the Israeli Government was said not to be a manifestation of anti-Semitism, but the definition was criticized as an effort to deflect criticism of Israel, in particular for settling persons in Palestinian-occupied territory.
