Israel is worse than apartheid was, imo.
Why not just say "Death to apartheid"? Why use the qualifier "South African"?
Continuing with the use of a qualifier . . .
Like apartheid, Zionism is an ideology. No question South Africa was an apartheid state . . . and you have so noted that Israel is a Zionist nation. Again, both apartheid and Zionism are ideologies . . . not states or nations.
So, why not just say "Death to Israeli Zionism" . . . or better yet: "Death to Zionism". "Death to Israel" means just that . . . the complete death of a nation and its people.
It's the extremist Zionistic practices, and all it entails, that appears to boil your blood. Unless, of course, you want the literal death and destruction of Israel and its people, as the cure to eliminate Israeli Zionism.
If there is any disingenuousness, it is the targeting of a nation and it's people . . . and NOT the ideology . . . then pretending that the real meaning is a singular abhorrence of an ideology that exists, solely within Israel and all of its people.
"Death to Israel" encompasses way more than Zionism . . . and you know that, too.
