I don't think this answers my questions. Anti-Zionism is about the idea that there should be no state of Israel.

How should this be achieved without war and a genocide-like event? What are people that are in favor of Anti-Zionism specifically hoping for?

Israel gives the Palestinians a contiguous state with sea access is exchange for a mutual recognition of borders.

The root problem that anti-Zionists have in practice (rather than the "no state of Israel" loonies) is Palestinians having a viable state (economically and territorially).

Both of those are things Israel (with the help of Arab funding) could fix tomorrow, if its current government weren't kowtowing to its ultra-right / illegal settler minority for political reasons.

I can totally see how the settlements and politics of Israel in the westbank would prevent a viable Palestinian state.

I know less about Gaza (haven't been there to begin with), but my impression is that Gaza had much more freedom within it's borders. It's unfortunate that the people there voted for a terror organization back then that as their very first act murdered the opposition and has no interest at all to work for the benefit of the Palestinian people.

Recognition of borders by Hamas will obviously never happen, so as long as they rule in Gaza or might potentially rule in Gaza or the westbank in the future it would be way too much risk for Israel to expose their borders.
