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?

No, it’s not anti-semitism. But many people who push the belief that criticizing the IDF is anti-semitism, also push the “bomb more Muslims plz” card.

Many things, including this and “Trump support”, are a means for people to launder their hatred and racism toward certain people and religions, without explicitly saying it out loud.
