They aren't anti-Zionist and they aren't advocating anything that would harm Israel or Israelis.

May I assume that you're going to continue on this track until everyone to the left of the right wing of the Zionist Union(in other words, any disagreement with the Occupation-and-perpetual settlement expansion status quo)is labeled as "anti-Israel"?

Can you just cut to the chase and tell us what, if any degree of dissent from the Likudnik version of Zionism is permissable?

By your standards, about 25% of the Knesset is anti-Israel.
