And criticism of Israel has also been used to mask thinly-veiled anti-Semitism. It works both ways.

And just when, exactly, did criticizing policies which unnecessarily kills civilians get called anti-Semitic? I think I missed that one.

The word is no longer associated with those who hate
Jews.  The word as it's used in modern politics and
the modern press has, sadly, degenerated into a tool
used to silence and suppress any criticism of Israel
and current Israeli policies.  George Orwell would be
laughing in his grave at the Newspeak of it all...
