Criticism of Israel is not antisemitic or even antizionist. But antizionism can and does use discursively antisemitic themes or tropes such as world conspiracies or the buying of governments or institutions by Zionists. The term Zionism should have been retired after the creation of the State of Israel.
And that's exactly why criticism of Israel is not "antisemitism." The accusation that it is, is purely politically motivated.
