It's an interesting situation, because Israel currently has a pretty hard-right government that plays into all the worst stereotypes about their attitude to the Palestinians, which has made it a lot easier for leftish people to wink at anti-semitism couched in the language of anti-Zionism.
I wonder if it would be such a hot topic if it was someone less polarising than Bibi calling the shots - as in, I wonder if so many people would be showing their true colours by blaming all of Bibi's ills on all Jews.
Edit just in case anyone misunderstands me - I think blaming all Jews or even all Israelis for Israel’s current policies is basically veiled anti-semitism, because few people would think to blame all Americans for Trump’s policies. But criticising the politicians for what they do is obviously completely fair.
