Is this antisemitic?

If I make a social media post or article criticizing IDF soldiers for intentionally destroying or mocking civilian property, and criticizing the IDF leadership and Israeli leadership for failing to confront this problem, is it antisemitic?

If I make a post claiming there is a double standard because when IDF soldiers destroy or mock Palestinian culture it is excused as "a few bad apples", yet when a Palestinian supporter mocks or defaces Israeili culture, the comment is "they are all hateful terrorists" - Is that being antisemitic?

If a news organization refers to Hamas as a "militant group" rather than "terrorists", yet also avoids a double standard by calling Israeli settler violence "mob violence" instead of "terrorism", are they being antisemitic?

There seems to be a high level of vigilantism out there, that does not distinguish between criticism of bad practices and actual semitism, and it's justified under "if you're totally committed to a state of Israel can do no harm dogma" then you're an anti-semite.

AIPAC spends heavily to enforce that, and prods its supporters to do the same.

Which goes totally against the spirit of activism, that sets apart the US Jewish population (whether or not they are practicing).

I stand with J-Street on this,
