2 points ... one is that half the world's ~15M jews live in Israel. That's


a fairly unique circumstance for a worldwide minority group. Support for Hamas, Iran, Hezbollah, Syria, Houthis etc in their stated goal to wipe Israel off the map (including chanting as much) is support for an actual genocide. Whether or not you want to call that "antisemitic" is meaningless semantics. I'd actually say it's far worse than "only" disliking somebody because of their religion.

Second, I don't think that peaceful protests for divestment, for instance, are necessarily antisemitic, however i'm susupicious of motives. Israel is - or seems to be - held to a different standard when it comes to why they're being singled out for divestment. Are you aware of anyone calling for university's to divest from ties with China over human rights abuses there (none of which are in active war zones for a war not started by China)? Or any protests against universities partnerining with Nike as their official apparel sponsor in athletics and in the bookstore because of their inhumane factory working conditions? etc.etc. What's different about Israel?
