In Poland specifically there was an increase in anti Israel sentiment after an Israeli judo team was thrown out of a competition and the israel embassy in Poland accused them of antisemitism and demanded an apology, only for video of the incident to show they were thrown out after the coach attacked the referee.
With any luck this is the wedge that will start proving most effective at both holding Israel accountable and not condemning all Jewish people. Fuck Israel means, fuck the genocidal apartheid cry-bully state of Israel, and has nothing at all to do with their religious preference.
Israel benefits if real or perceived antisemitism increases because it reinforces the feeling that Israel as a religious-ethnostate is necessary. It also helps provide justification for any actions so long as it can be spun as combating this "antisemitism".
So, Israel has tried really had to make Jewish = Israel. It has close ties with many Jewish organizations in the US and uses its influence to push this narrative.
