Being Anti-Israel doesn't make you anti-Semitic, but the actions you could take in regards to it can be. That's the issue with the Left that is growing is that some can't seem to separate being Anti-Israel from the anti-Semitism itself and resort to that to show they are Anti-Israel.

Bigotry exists on the left just as it exists elsewhere. But a handful of isolated incidents doesn't require that "a lot" of Dems/liberals are actually anti-semitic and that's actually where most of the backlash to this is coming from.

You linked two opinion pieces. One is about a singular incident at a college, an incident that was denounced by the school and various student groups. The other is written with the deliberate intention of getting you to believe that anti-Semitism on the left is a huge epidemic and then goes on to describe scattered handfuls of events. Not that she's wrong about the incidents being anti-Semitic, but her take includes a clear conservative bias against liberals.
