Ask people identifying themselves as Jewish. We tend to feel it as clearly antisemitic. I agre antizionist and antisemitic is not exactly the same, but -as Schachar said- the results from the actions in question are basically indistinguishable. Also, the tone how it dismisses our Israeli peers as "agents of the occupation" just for having been born in a given place and being citizens to their only home country, stinks of the worst, stalest racism we have seen.
