Why do so many confuse both issues?

It is often confused. Respecting and accepting the Jews is a moral decision on a religious issue. Rejecting Zionism is a political decision. You understand the difference. Many people do not. I have no idea if I agree with your position, but I understand the legitimate distinction you have made in your analysis.

yes,you can respect jews and reject zionism[in its current manifestation-israel].Zionism is about creating a jewish homeland.You cannot create a homeland over a short span of time,without violence.
A homeland for any group of people takes centuries.The people must develope common values and a common culture.This cannot be manufactured it must evolve.
Thats why zionism can easily be rejected today

Ask Jews. Zionism is Talmudic Supremecism. The Talmud contains THE MOST RACIST, VICIOUSLY BIGOTED ideology ever written. Jews are taught they are literally, physically better, and purer, than EVERY-ONE else - and the Goyim (cattle) are simply things to be USED. And abused.
I've asked Jews WHY they haven't edited out all the reall ugly, hateful ideologies IN the Talmud - and I've never gotten answer. I'm a White woman. You're a Black man. Jews treat you guys as their little pet Darkies. Perhaps you'll get an answer - if you ask.

Yes. Just like in the US, 75% of the citizens want to increase minimum wage (for many years), they want mass transit, clean fuels, good roads, etc but we don't get it. Why? Because "the government" does not equal "the people". It is the same in Israel. Most citizens want peace. The government does not. The governments of countries run the show, not the people.

Anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism are synonymous. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. summed it up nicely, “When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You're talking anti-Semitism.”

Yes you clearly support the Jews as you call them zionists
Just know, the terrorists make them say they are a zionist before they are beheaded

Possible, yes. Abused by many to cover up their racist feelings, most definitely!

Why don't you explain Zionism, or is it a buzzword you learned to throw around?
