3. The course assumes that Jews have no right to a state in Israel.

That's the only way that creating a Jewish state in Israel could ever be considered "settler colonialism." You can't be a settler colonialist if you are indigenous to the land, can you? That fundamental assumption of the course is understood by almost all affective Jews to be antisemitic. It is understood by most decent thinking people to be antisemitic. Everyone on this board knows that. Everyone on this board knows that you know that. The fact that you have a peculiar (that is unique to yourself) understanding of what antisemitism is (which conveniently excludes antisemitism such as this course) doesn't change that. It merely establishes that your world view is morally and intellectually bankrupt.
