I don't know if this point has been brought up before, but I doubt the claims of "anti-Semitism" on the rise being true. Rather, they just conflate any anti-Israeli protesters as being "anti-Semites" regardless of whether or not they actually hate Jews.
I guarantee there are plenty of lefty protestors labeled "anti-Semites" that are pro-Jew in every way except for having Israel as an ethnostate. It is just that they take the Ben Shapiro definition of "anti-Semitism" and run with it.
I am sure there are those that hate Jews protesting as well against Israel. Except these people have always existed, and they are often Muslim (no surprise considering Palestine is a factor). But just having a proclaimed "rise of anti-Semitism" is vague enough to give those in power the excuse to do what they please, including crackdowns on speech and sending more money to Israel. Meanwhile, they will blame white people for the "anti-Semitism" even if they are brown nosing Israel the hardest.
