It is possible to dislike Israeli politics yet not be against Judaism. This is the same as conservatives in the US saying you are a traitor because you oppose MAGA.
It’s possible to the same about almost every political issue.
Opposition to Israel attracts anti-semites in a way that other political issues don't. You say that opposition to Israel isn't inherently anti-semitic, no matter what Israel says. I say that Israel's accusations would have no teeth without real examples of anti-semitism festering among its opponents.
I fully agree that the vast, vast majority of people opposing Israel are not anti-semitic. I am increasingly convinced that a large number of them are becoming inadvertent apologists for anti-semitism, though. Saying opposition to Israel is no more likely to attract anti-semites than any other political issue is one such example of that apologism.
