You could start with this three way conversation among three Jewish anti-zionists, it was one of the things that has really changed a lot of my ideas about the Israeli state. Particularly note what Rabbi Shapiro lists about the clear, crude, antisemitism that was rampant among some of the major figures in Zionism. I've never heard anything more antisemitic than some of the stuff that Jabotinsky said about Jews. Jabotinsky is the grandfather of today's Likud party, Netanyahu's father was one of Jabotinsky's associates, today's Israel is ruled by descendants of violent, antisemtic, pro-fascists. You can read a hardly hostile account of that here.
In this conversation, when they are introducing themselves and telling how they came to be anti-zionists who are certainly not antisemites, Miko Peled's description of the zionism he was brought up in had distinctly fascist tendencies is something I have an obligation to take seriously.
