Oh snap. Conservative propagandists will have to work overtime to explain how those Haredi Jews who oppose the existence of the State of Israel are really evil anti-Semites fighting for the extermination of the Jewish people.

Conservative zionists are rather lazy mental workers. There is no new thought to be thought in nationalism.
People who disagree with their brand of Jewish nationalism but have been acounted to the Jews according to it's broad definition of a Jew they apty call "self-hating Jews". They apply this term to people both of Reactionary and of Progressive conviction. German Nationalists used the term Nestbeschmutzer for both marxists and classical liberal idealist nationalists they believed to be Aryan. That means "people who bring filth in their nest". How do you say Nestbeschmutzer in Hebrew?

narcomprom beat me to it.
But yes, they've had this worked out for decades.
Jews who oppose, resist, or simply disagree with Zionism and/or the State of Israel's foreign policy are "self-hating Jews" (meaning, essentially, Jewish anti-Semites) - an old concept which has been developed further with the somewhat more recent term "new anti-Semitism". One example of the latter being the American Jewish Committee's essay entitled "Progressive Jewish Thought and the New Anti-Semitism"(2006) which employs the Orwellian argument that left-wing and even liberal Jews who criticize the State of Israel are complicit in anti-Semitism. Take away the dressing of pseudo-intellectual language, and their allegation amounts to little more than "race-traitor".
Ironically it is Israel's apologists themselves who, by perverting and obscuring the meaning of the term "anti-Semitism" to serve as a political bludgeon, are actively providing some of the most substantial contributions to the growing tolerance for genuinely anti-Semitic views. Such reckless political opportunism knows no bounds.
