Yeah, these days when I read anything about antisemitic crime I always have to check if it’a actually people being racist or if someone just said israel bad. And of course israel doing their genocide is also driving up actual antisemitic crimes, because plenty of people think that israel=all jews, and understandably people are angry so they look for a “deserving” target. Which israel is also not helping with since their constant cries of antisemitism are implying exactly that.
And in reality it’s not even all israelis (not like most people living there these days chose it), and while far too many seem to support the genocide, they’re also under heavy propaganda.

Not all Israelis, sure, but settlers definitely. Nobody’s forcing them to attack Palestinians and destroy their property.
