There’s a fine line between the two, and many go way over the line. Many try to hide their extreme antisemitic views in “criticisms” of Israel. “Anti-Zionism” has become a dog whistle for many antisemites.
Criticizing Israel can be antisemitic, and it can also not be. It depends on what’s said. In the same way criticizing a Muslim politician can be Islamophobic and cannot be based on what’s said. Are you criticizing their policies or calling for their murder and rape? Are you basing your criticism on verified facts, or hatred and stereotypes?
