I hate to rule people out of the Jewish community, really. But historically and today there is one thing that does turn a Jew into a exJew or a heretic, and that is a belief in Jesus as messiah.
This is uncontroversial, and I'm not interested in discussing it. There are fine points about the possibility of t'shuva, but insofar as one holds that belief one is completely outside the Jewish community.
I did not used to think that the same thing could be said for "antiZionism." I would once have called it just another opinion. I would have said it's not antisemitism but just a position with which I happen to disagree, and about which reasonable people could disagree.
The world and I have changed. To me it has come to be the case that antiZionism is not only a form of antisemitism, it is essentially a heresy, like Christianity.
Once a Jew opposes the idea of Jews surviving & thriving in our own indigenous land -Zionism - they are gone. Goodbye!
