Your point is perfectly correct. The issues are separate. But often they are not, they
become conflated by people who dress up antisemitism as mere statements against
Israel. This pernicious racism was dressed up in the past too. People weren't killing
Jews because they are Jews but because of Jerusalem, or the plague, or Jesus, or the
world's banks or even sacrificed Christian boys. And some Shia Arab in France who
attacks a Jew might say it's because of Israel's policies. But chances are he won't attack
a Sunni Arab for his government's policies. And as Nikki Haley would say it, something
becomes antisemitic when it attacks Israel's policies, BUT NO-ONE ELSES.
