Yeah, as I explained in the original comment, even when liberals are trying to make socially progressive points, they just copy right wing rhetoric and change the subject. You've picked up on a great example here. Actually being against anti semitism should be a good thing. Everyone should be against anti semitism at a bare minimum. But what the liberals have done instead, is they've taken the talking points about "anti white racism" from the right, and just replaced it with "anti semitism" like you said. Instead of actually being against anti semitism. This is because Israel is a settler colonial project (which is why recycling the right wing propaganda about anti white racism works so well), and because actually being against anti semitism would mean being critical of Israel. I mean, it is very discriminatory to associate every follower of a religion, or member of an ethnic group, with a country that claims to represent them. Assuming all Jews agree with Israel's actions is anti semitic in of itself.
This encompasses a lot of liberal feminists, anti racists, LGBT activists, etc as well. They don't see Palestinian women as equals, they don't see Arab Palestinians as equals, they don't see LGBT Palestinians as equals. In their Eurocentric worldview, Palestinians do not matter. As someone else on hexbear once said, white supremacy and Eurocentrism is the black hole of liberalism. Initially you don't know that it's there, but everything orbits around it, and eventually gets sucked into it.
