The closer term is Anti-Zionist.
Anti-Zionism is against the formation of Israel.
Anti-Semitism is hostile against Jews.
Israel has been successfully equating Zionism with Semitism for so long that very few use the term anti-zionism and people can call each other racist and silence others who's arguing about Israel.

They know what they're doing. They've been deliberately equating the two in order to shut down any criticism of Israel.
