Of course antisemitism doesn’t always have to be antizionist. But I’d maintain that antizionism is always antisemitic. When other countries commit horrific and disgusting acts, they are criticised, but their existence is in no way or form questioned like the existence of Israel is. So no, it’s not “antizionism = antisemitism”, but it is “antizionism ∈ antisemitism”
Thats because for the most part counties that committed horrific acts (ex: Germany, UK, China, France, etc) are well established countries or (ex: US, Canada, Australia) have had colonial rule for so long they’ve become established. Meanwhile if you compare Israel to other settler colonial counties like Rhodesia you’ll find that they collapsed the second apartheid rule ended.
What world are you living in? People regularly wish for the collapse of USA due to it’s unhinged level of capitalism ruining workers’ lives. People regularly wish for the fall of Russia because of Putin’s dictatorship and invasion of Ukraine. People regularly wish for the fall of China, either because they believe that Chinese gov’t commits atrocities or simply because they are simps of capitalism and wish for anything even remotely communist to fail.

That “believe” seems to imply that China doesn’t commit genocide.
