Extreme hatred of Israel can be called antizionism or Israel Derangement Syndrome and aligns well with anti-Western and anti-American views. See how many comments insult both America and Israel here. Antizionism is the intense hatred and focus of one tiny middle Eastern country. It is not normal but it has been normalised. Antizionism is a hate movement.

It's incredibly frustrating because the only "reasonable" opinion we're allowed is full-throated denial of Israel's right to exist and the end of anything Jewish associated with it. There's no allowance for nuance.

Anti western? Love for the west's principles is what drives many people to disgust about Israel. Antisemitism, Israel Derangement or whatever new names you invent, they are of zero meaning today because of their excessive overuse.
