How would the perception that all Jews support what the Israeli government is doing in Gaza not fuel antisemitism? From John V. Walsh at antiwar.com:
Biden, Megadonors, and Media stir antisemitism by equating Israel with Jewry
The many Jewish students in the campus encampments, along with other Jews protesting the Gaza phase of the Palestinian Genocide, deserve the highest praise for many reasons. One reason is that by their deeds they are countering what might otherwise turn into a wave of antisemitism.
The portrait of the encampments in much of the mass media and at Congressional hearings is a seething cauldron of anti-Jewish hatred and bigotry. Joe Biden has joined the chorus, labelling the students’ actions to oppose Israel’s genocide as “antisemitic protests”! This charge is false amounting to a smear of the protests and an easy way to dismiss the them. And it is dangerous because it de-legitimizes a movement that may help to stop a genocide. But it is dangerous in another respect, for it increases the possibility of a real wave of antisemitic backlash.
Let’s begin with the slaughter of Gazans which is simply the latest phase of a long slow genocide of the Palestinian people which began with the Nakba of 1948, the forced expulsion of 750,000 Palestinians from their homes accompanied by a campaign of terror and atrocities. The Nakba and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from historic Palestine, aka Greater Israel, over the following 76 years, have largely been hidden from view. In contrast, as has been widely remarked, the present massacre in Gaza is highly visible over alternative media on the internet. The more than 35, 000 deaths, the majority of them women and children, and the bombed-out, smoking rubble that once was cities, schools, mosques, churches, hospitals and homes and even cemeteries are there for all the world to see.
The Biden administration has provided the weaponry for this genocide. And since US taxpayers are footing the bill for the bombs, US citizens have the right and responsibility to raise their voices in opposition. And the students have led the way in doing just that.
