It's already harming Judaism, trying to equate it to an apartheid ethnostate like Israel

Not to be taken seriously at all, but the mental image of Jews being kicked out of their own country is hilarious.

Always was. Zionism is an antisemite movement.

I mean I think their other main victims are the Bedouin, whom they are also displacing, but I take the point.

Part of stepping into Jewish anti-Zionism is accepting the fact that our religion has been hijacked by fascists who commit ongoing genocide on behalf of colonial powers.

In what way is this "on behalf of colonial powers"? From what I can tell Israel is acting for their own benefit. Nobody outside of Israel (as in governments) has a vested interest in the question of who lives in the Gaza strip.

It is acting on behalf of the US government and its interests in the Middle East

You can find videos of Biden saying so himself over the years

Israel is a colonial power

Where are or were their colonies?

"Israel" itself is a western colony in Palestine. Its formation used common british colonization tactics [III], with companies literally named "Colonization Commission", "Jewish Colonial Trust" and the like.

Theodor Herzl, founder of the colonial ideology he called "zionism", was himself also just a racist colonizer by his own admission, and saw it as bringing ‘civilization’ to ‘barbarians’ as the rest of Europe did when they were colonizing and enslaving Africa and Asia:

“We should there form a portion of a rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism. We should as a neutral State remain in contact with all Europe, which would have to guarantee our existence.” Source [II]

Israel isn't a colony, it was one. And that doesn't mean that everything Israel does is directed by "colonial powers" or that it is one itself.

Gaza Anything that needs to go into Palestine is controlled by Israel. Egypt only allows limited humanitarian aid to enter and no commercial goods are allowed into Gaza from Egypt

America does. America has, for years, had a vested interest in Israel being a forward base for its interests. You think America is getting nothing out of all those guns it sends to Israel?

Oh don't say that. Of course we care, there's money to be made.
