what made zionists so hysterical ?

To reinforce the notion that Jews are in perpetual systemic danger in the present day and age, even when they are quite clearly not.

This is then weaponized by organisations such as the ADL, or governments such as the UK (recently banning Hasan Piker) to stifle criticism of Israel.

At the heart of every argument within the spectrum of Zionism lies the uncritically accepted belief that Jews are an eternally oppressed people and that antisemitism is a constant, rampant threat. The charge of antisemitism often functions as a thought-terminating cliché, deployed not only by staunch Zionists but even by well-meaning individuals who identify as pro-Palestine.
