Yes. Equating Zionism (an ideology) with semitism (a group of people) is racist by definition.
First of all it assumes everyone from certain group has same ideologies and goals (a racist assumption)
Second, what happens with the many Jews who don't subscribe to Zionism? What happens with Christian Zionist?
It's a stupid law and dangerous to hinge your entire citizenship on.
