In Canada, the widely adopted International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism has served as a tool to bludgeon and silence those engaged in political activism — the primary goal of which is to halt the mass murder of Palestinian children — as being hostile toward Jewish people as a group.
As Independent Jewish Voices notes on its webpage detailing the numerous faults within the IHRA definition:
“The IHRA definition comes appended with 11 illustrative examples of antisemitism, seven of which specifically focus on the state of Israel, rather than on Jews as a group. The list of examples is intended to conflate antisemitism with criticism of Israel and Zionism.”
Oh there are for sure anti-semites who verneer their anti-semitism with anti-israel language, like Candace Owens. They also can’t help themselves but conflate Jewish people with Israelis, as if they are all the same and monolithic, at least in my experience.
Of course they also support the same kind of fascist ideologies and policies, they just try to hide their anti-semitism as anti-israel. The difference between pro-israel anti-semites and anti-israel anti-semites is that the pro-israel ones want to deport all Jewish people to Israel, while the anti-israel anti-semites don’t want Jewish people to exist at all.
It’s pretty easy to spot imo, but it’s important to be critical when unsure
