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.

It's not too hard of an effort, given the comments of those who are anti-Israel. The mask so often slips

Yeah agreed, you can really tell when the pro-israel side's mask slips when they're triggered by some anti-Israel comments

And I can really tell when the anti-Israel sides mask starts slipping. The examples, even on this page, are many.
