anti-semitism and the pro-israel lobby

is it inherently anti-semetic to speak out against the pro-israel lobby that operates in washington?
is the term 'zionist' inherently anti-semetic?
I see people getting a lot of flack being called jew haters and anti-semites because they refer to instances like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIPAC_espionage_scandal
and call for an end to the israel lobby operating in washington.

It is not inherently anti-semitic to criticize Israel.

How did "semitic" get associated with Jews only? From what I remember, semitic refers to semitic languages which include Arabic, Aramaic, Hebrew, Maltese, and many others.

Which is quite 100% true. Except usage has wandered from what it once was. Clearly a JEW conspiracy.

No. I know plenty of Jewish radicals who embrace their religon but are strongly oppossed to what they refer to as the "Israeli occupation of Palestine." Anyone who tells you it is anti-semitic to, for political reasons, be oppossed to Israel and its lobbyists is trying to bully you with political correctness.
Zionism is tricky. I think it is primarily a manifestation of paranoia and provincialism to believe that there is a world-wide conspiracy of Jewish elders plotting dominance. This paranoia is probably usually fueled by racism, but I suppose one could be unprejudiced towards the Jewish people as a whole while still believing that a select group of them are part of a power conspiracy. I mean I believe that Rupert Murdoch is at the head of what is essentially a conspiracy, but I'm not racist against Australians.
