Anti-Zionism does not give license to Anti-Semitism. I see an acute blurring of the otherwise vast boundary between these. Not all Jewish people are Zionists. Many secular Jews are anti-zionists. But, I do now equate the Star of David with Zionism because of the nationalism that collects under it. Zionist Nationalism, indeed.

Gregory Alan Isakov - The Stable Song - How'd She Know
A strange thing happened during the summer of 2018. I was drawn, mental pictures and all, to the Looking Glass Creek in Transylvania County, North Carolina, imbedded deep in the Pisgah National Forest, to a spot where I once played, just below Sliding Rock. I told my wife that I wanted to go there, so off we went. I drove so Stacey could have a beer on the way.
As we approached Highway 276, which would run parallel to the Looking Glass Creek, Stacey said, "this one's for Daddy," and played the Stable Song. I big fat tear rolled down the left side of my face, unbeknownst to Frank and Stacey. How'd she know?
