Criticism of Israeli policy not anti-semitism
Jews were easy to empathize with after Holocaust details were revealed. And that was likely still the case when Israel was first formed and for a long time when its government was left-leaning and staunchly democratic. It is much less the case now that Israel's government is leaning so dramatically to the far right and is far less democratic. It is neither anti-semitic nor prejudiced in any way to challenge and even criticize the Israeli government for its actions and especially its actions in Gaza and the West Bank.
