I just checked that there is plenty of definitions of nationalism, the one I used is "all things come secondary to the interest of a nation". Statism is much more clear. It's defined as the belief in legitimacy of state power. In that sense, Jews in diaspora can be well nationalist without being Zionist. Zionism is the project of making a state for the Jewish nation. The concept of a nation states is a very new invention. Roughly 3 to 4 hundred years old. Judaism is an order of magnitude older than that. Zionism is a manifestation of statism, the OPs point is to not be breading antisemitism with anti-zionism. For instance, a consistent stance of an anti-zionism would be that I'd rather have a Jewish neighbor than have him migrate to pursue this project. No anti-Semitism here.
