Without relativism there would be no argument. The inquisition was over long ago (I hope).
I also think it is possible to be anti-Zionist and not racist. Zionism and Judaism are not the same thing, although some would have us believe they are. Mostly they are people lobbying the US government on their policy in the middle-east. My ex-wife was Jewish (and proud to be). She considered Israel to be a European landgrab of Palestinian territory off the back of a failed British foreign policy. She was also a British, American, South African and Australian citizen, so her capacity for a pluralism incorporating difficult to reconcile views was a necessity for her own cultural survival.
