"The strategy utilised by the Zionist Establishment within Jewish communities and outside these communities, particularly, in the United States, England, France, Germany and Australia is to engage in an intentional falsification of history and contemporary reality when it comes to the supposedly intractable conflict between Israel and the Palestinians."
...
"As the world witnessed in the case of the destruction of the highly probable victory of Jeremy Corbyn becoming British Prime Minister, these campaigns of destroying opponents of Israeli ethnic cleansing have been extremely potent and successful.

It is, therefore, imperative that all people opposed to this war of annihilation of the Palestinian people must make sure that this current campaign which aims to destroy any opposition to the Gazan genocide is decisively defeated."

I guess it depends on what you mean by "antisemitism" @serge
Israel disgusts many of us, but is Israel Jewish?

To my mind, Israel and the Zionism that spawned it have done untold harm to Judaism. As such, they're the most effective antisemitism.

As Yarden Katz writes:
"Anyone wishing to understand how the Holocaust was possible, how people who may be warm and kind in their personal lives could support the murder of an entire population deemed subhuman, should examine Israeli society."

"... the zionist project, culminating in Israel, is profoundly contrary to Jewish traditions ... Israel has suppressed these Jewish traditions and ways of living while hijacking parts of them when convenient."

"... the dismantling of Israel and the liberation of Palestine must also be a Jewish struggle — ... “Israeli” is a colonial identity that should be renounced, not just because it harms Palestinians but also because it is deeply anti-Jewish."

Not all Jews are like you @galad
That's evidently a truth that you find hard to accept.

The roots of Zionism can be traced to the early 17th century. Until very recently, it was a gentile concept. Jews didn't start using the term in relation to themselves until very late in the 19th century.

Jewish Zionism comes in many forms. The form that spawned Israel is characterised by racism and bloodlust, as evinced by the current prima facie genocide.

You're evidently confused.

You're evidently also confused about what constitutes antisemitism. If you're trying to use the IHRA Definition, that's understandable:
"...the IHRA Definition is unclear in key respects and widely open to different interpretations, it has caused confusion and generated controversy, hence weakening the fight against antisemitism."

The Jerusalem Declaration:
https://jerusalemdeclaration.org/
is much clearer.

Pay particular attention to heading C. "Israel and Palestine: examples that, on the face of it, are not antisemitic"

Nothing's perfect @Nochem
For me, one of the most significant forms of antisemitism involves the concept of antisemitism itself.

Israeli Zionism has habitually abused the term. For much of the world, the accusation now has no impact whatsoever.

Neutering what was once a powerful concept is a remarkable achievement.

/ Settlers looted and desecrated food intended for Gaza in front of soldiers, peace activists were attacked, and two trucks were set on fire

Dozens of settlers and far-right Israelis looted yesterday the humanitarian aid trucks making their way to the Strip through the Tarqumiya crossing near Hebron. The humanitarian aid was blocked at two points in the area south and west of Hebron Hill - near the Tarqumiya checkpoint and near the Negohot settlement. After being blocked and looted, two trucks were set on fire near the Tarqumiya checkpoint.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

B'Tselem stated that the looting continued for hours, "in front of soldiers and police officers, as well as security personnel at the crossing, who did not lift a finger to stop the desecration of food. This conduct by the Israeli authorities grossly violates the interim orders of the International Court of Justice, which demanded that Israel allow the supply of humanitarian aid to Gaza."​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

"A land without people for a people without a land" that's the catch-cry of Israeli Zionism. From the beginning, they denied the existence of Palestinians. Evidently, the intent was always to eliminate the existing population.

I think it's more fundamental than that @peterbrown
From the beginning in the 19th century, when those who eventually created Israel combined aspects of Christian Zionism with aspects of Judaism to create their ideology, they denied the existence of Palestinians. When Palestinians stubbornly continued to exist, that ideology denied their humanity. Eliminating the existing population of Palestine is fundamental to the very essence of Israel.

Gaza has a Hamas problem @knowprose and Israel has a Likud problem.
They're problems that the respective populations have Democratically chosen. They're both problems that have the overwhelming support of those populations.

Which raises a question:

why don't we hear "the Likud-run military", for example?

As Miko Peled observed, Israel and Palestine are the same place. He believes that Jews and Arabs can live together peacefully. That may be true, but by all appearances, it's true of probably less than 20% of the population. The remaining 80% would need to be homed elsewhere. Palestine is sacred to more than Judaism and Islam. Ideally, I'd like to see it established as World Heritage. Protected by the world at large and thus needing no armed forces. I can dream, can't I? What of the other 80%? Netanyahu advocates a state in Sinai for Palestinians, so let's make that two states. I think of them as sanatoria. Unarmed and heavily guarded, to protect them from each other and the world from them. Plus a couple of very large prisons.

But it’s curious that so little attempt is made by them, or pro-Zionist organisations like them, to correlate this rise with Israel’s ongoing oppression of the Palestinian people and its culmination in one of history’s most horrific human tragedies.
