I'm not sure what anti-Zionists think would happen to all the Jews living in Israel if it were just magically given to the Palestinians overnight, but here's a hint: Hamas, the people running Palestine, literally, factually want to kill them all.

I don't understand why you default to conflating the denial of a theocratic Jewish state to "hand over all the controls to Palestine."

What part of opposing Israel as a state excludes current Israeli people from participating and organizing in a hypothetical one state solution?

Obviously, none of this is simple, and violence is not the answer, but I'm not sure why your idea of anti-Zionism focuses only on the most reactionary (and most likely to actually be anti-semitic) voices of anti-Zionism. This kind of language only drives polarization.
