It's a "just asking questions" type of comment where the answers are pretty easy to find. It's, at best, a poorly worded comment that could legitimately be seen as offensive and reads like a troll. I don't see it as an effective criticism of Zionism because it lays out incorrect assumptions, asks bad questions, and mocks Judaism (e.g. "sky daddy"). I don't think all of that necessarily qualifies as antisemitism, but there's no inherent value in the comment to defend. I'd be curious which subreddit the user was banned from and it's also possible this comment doesn't exist in a vacuum and there could be a pattern of behavior that was considered.

Part of the problem is probably in the use of the word ‘Jew’. Many Jewish people prefer to being called Jewish over being called a Jew, as it can be derogatory.
I thought it was just an abbreviation without any derogatory implications.
