The same bad logic is being used calling the protests anti-semitic. All anti-semites are anti-Israeli, but not all anti-Israelis are anti-semites. In this case anti-semites are a subset of people who are anti-Israel. The protesters are all anti-Israeli government policy, but not necessarily anti-Jewish people. You could break it down further, because there's a subset of people who are anti Israeli policy whoo also are anti Israel and believe the state itself should be dismantled. That subset intersects with the pro-Hamas subset, which intersects with the set of people who think violence is aa good way to achieve this goal.
I could draw all the circles of all the groups and lay it out, but I don't teach 4th grade math anymore. lol.
