Anti-Semitism = being pro Palestinian human rights and supporting their own state alongside Israel.
If you support BDS movement you are definitely anti-Semitic.
Anti-Semitic, too if you oppose Israeli settlements in the West Bank because Israelis believe the land belongs to them.
EXTRACTS:
Amnesty’s report attacked companies such as Airbnb and TripAdvisor, saying they were driving tourism to “illegal Israeli settlements and contributing to their existence and expansion” by listing rooms and activities "on occupied Palestinian land, including East Jerusalem".
Amnesty accused Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia and TripAdvisor of “misleading their customers by failing to consistently indicate when listings are located in Israeli settlements”.
Israel’s minister of Internal Security and Strategic Affairs Gilad Erdan is considering banning Amnesty International following the human rights campaign group’s report.
He has instructed his ministry to "examine the possibility of preventing the entry and stay of Amnesty International in Israel" in the wake of the report.
Mr Erdan said: "The hypocritical Amnesty organisation speaks in the name of human rights, and in effect promotes boycotts against Israeli citizens as part of the antisemitic boycott and delegitimization campaign."
The minister said he had spoken to the finance minister about halting tax benefits for the organisation, which said tourism companies Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia and TripAdvisor “continue to operate in the settlements, and profit from this illegal situation”.
Israel’s Tourism Minister Yariv Levin also said: "No force in the world will change the simple historical truth - the Land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people. We will fight this despicable antisemitic decision.
"No one can boycott Israel or parts of it." The Jewish Chronicle, 30 Jan 2019
