Here is a simple example: imagine that you knew of a gentile who periodically makes donations to Jewish movements (Never Again Action) or non‐profit organizations (Jews for Racial & Economic Justice), who repeatedly educates others on Jewish history, who makes an effort to learn and respect Jewish customs, who volunteers to clean up or repair Jewish properties such as cemeteries, who even makes an effort to learn Jewish languages such as Yiddish or Ladino, and who would, if the opportunity arose, defend Jews with her life, be they friends or strangers. In short, she does not merely say ‘I respect Jewish people’ or ‘I love Jewish people’, she demonstrates it.
Nobody with an ounce of common sense would conclude that this person is antisemitic, but Zionists would. Why? Because she also recommends the deoccupation of Palestine.
Yes, you can be the perfect Samaritan for the Jewish people, but according to Zionists: recommending the discontinuation of the so‐called State of ‘Israel’ is more than enough proof that you are an antisemite, even if you insist that it must be done peacefully. If Zionists will go so far as to brand Shoah survivors who support Palestinians ‘antisemitic’, you better believe that they’d stamp without hesitation the gentile described above with the ‘antisemitic’ label too.
Her existence is not entirely hypothetical. Although so far I myself have not had the opportunity to maintain any Jewish properties, and I only donate irregularly, most of that description still applies to me, and whatever doesn’t could easily apply to others. Calling somebody antisemitic should ideally be a very serious accusation, especially if the accused is a Jew, but Zionists make it feel so mundane. This is only one of many reasons why I can’t be a Zionist: because they trivialize antisemitism. That concludes my rant.
As beautifully straightforward as it would be to summarize Palestine’s occupation as an example of the cycle of violence, I suspect that that is an oversimplification. From what I know, many of the neocolonists actually considered the Shoah survivors to be weaklings. For byspel:

And they’re still treating them like crap; many of them live in poverty today. Unfortunately, some Shoah survivors did contribute to Palestine’s occupation, but this is overstated.
While I wouldn’t go that far, I don’t really blame people for drawing the comparisons either. What the neocolony is doing is essentially the policy of empire that we have seen time and again: emptying regions of natives, and reducing the remnants to the status of second‐class citizens. We’ve seen it with the British Empire, Imperial America, the Ottoman Empire, the Empire of Japan, the Kingdom of Italy, and yes, the German Reich. The neocolony may be less ambitious in its long‐term goals, but they deserve the severest opposition all the same.

Maybe less ambitious due to circumstance. But I suspect Israel absolutely would pursue some Middle Eastern version of “Manifest Destiny” if it had the capability to do so.
