He's only one of many anti-Zionists, but it's interesting to see what this one is like and what has made him think like he does. He was a real anti-Zionist yet called himself a Jew. I just saw him on Youtube on a past video where he spoke as an aetheist. This guy is against everything. Being he's against all religion, and especially Judaism, he does not believe that we Jews should have our ancient country back, even though the League of Nations voted for it in the 1920s after WWI. Dollars to donuts that he hasn't bothered to read in earnest about our Jewish history.
His name was Christopher Hitchens. The scary fact is that In 2009 "Hitchens was listed by Forbes magazine as one of the "25 most influential liberals in the U.S. media." He was a British Journalist." Did the British journalists think he was cool and would go along with his attitude towards Israel?
Last month, many figures on both the right and left authored or uttered encomia to the British journalist Christopher Hitchens on the tenth anniversary of his death. Always provocative, Hitchens was an outspoken opponent of jihadism and defender of free speech, as well as an apologist for the Soviet would-be-despot Leon Trotsky. The passion that moved Hitchens the most may have been his hatred of religion, and he seemed to believe one religion in particular was responsible for the sins of the others. Meir Soloveichik writes:
The bestselling book of Hitchens’s career, and the one for which he is most known, is God Is Not Great: Why Religion Poisons Everything. It is easy to document historical horrors committed in the name of religion. What sets this book apart—as Benjamin Kerstein documented in Jewish Ideas Daily—is the casual statements about Judaism that are obviously untrue, as well as its obsession with Judaism. Hitchens not only criticizes biblical commandments that stand in tension with the zeitgeist; he attacks what he calls the “pitiless teachings of the God of Moses, who never mentions human solidarity and compassion at all.” This is a strange thing to say about a Pentateuch that begins by banning murder because all humanity is created in the image of God, and concludes in Deuteronomy with the exhortation to “love the stranger” and to not abhor the Edomite, “for he is your brother.”
Eric Ernest Hitchens (1909–1987) and Yvonne Jean Hitchens (née Hickman; 1921–1973), his parents, met in Scotland when serving in the Royal Navy during World War II. His mother had been a Wren, a member of the Women's Royal Naval Service. 
I believe that 1/32 =3.12% which means that Christopher's GGGgrandparents were Jewish. Each generation is worth 25 years. So, going back from 1949 five generations would take us back 125 years to 1824 when his GGGgrandmother was born.
She was of Jewish origin (Christopher and his brother were 1/32 ethnically Jewish), something Hitchens discovered when he was 38; he came to identify as a Jew. As he tells it, his female ancestor was a direct line to his own mother, Yvonne Jean Hickman. According to Judaism, if this is the case, he would be considered Jewish. As he is also saying, only his ancestor born in 1825 was Jewish and then she must not have had any girls, only boys. Judaism is carried by the mother-religiously.
Today, if someone only has a Jewish father but the family is practicing Judaism, the child is considers Jewish.
Christopher Eric Hitchens (13 April 1949 – 15 December 2011). He was born in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England, the elder of two boys, and on the video seen on JBS, spoke with an English accent.
Hitchens struggled with the premise of a Jewish homeland and had said of himself, "I am an Anti-Zionist. I'm one of those people of Jewish descent who believes that Zionism would be a mistake even if there were no Palestinians." Hitchens described himself as an anti-theist and saw all religions as false, harmful and authoritarian. He argued for free expression, scientific discovery, and the separation of church and state, arguing that they were superior to religion as an ethical code of conduct for human civilization.
Hitchens was bisexual during his younger days, and joked that as he aged, his appearance "declined to the point where only women would go to bed with [him]." He said he had sexual relations with two male students at Oxford who would later become Tory ministers during the premiership of Margaret Thatcher, although he would not reveal their names publicly.
Evidently Hitchens had no time to give to the study of Judaism. He was too busy writing lies about it.
