> anti-anything is hate if you’re vocal about it. If you say you’re anti-Israeli foreign policy or anti-settlements but when you sum it all up to anti-this-one-particular-country without specifying what part of it and why, then it is assumed that you just hate the people, who in this case are all jewish.

but there is a difference. being anti-semite means you dislike ALL jews, and being anti-Israel means you dislike the country and its policies.

People seem to forget that not all Israelis are Jewish, and not all Jews are Israeli. Just like Arabs and Muslims are not 100% synonymous.
