Lately Israel has been using the antisemitism card to the extent that they may run into a "boy who cried wolf" situation when antisemitism truly occurs and they want the world to know.
When all of Europe didn't blindly condone all of Israel's actions they immediately accused that antisemitism is rising in Europe.
And when someone (an Israeli) held an art exhibition in Sweden where the picture of one of the Palestinian suicide bombers were the centerpiece of the exhibition, the ambassador of Israel went on to throw lamps around and immediately cried "antisemitism". The artwork of course wasn't meant in anyway to accept the suicide bombings, but to criticize the whole situation between Palestine and Israel. Still, it was antisemitism in Israel's opinion.
I'm not accepting a lot of Israel's actions but I'm in no way antisemitic. I can also criticise the African dictators without being a racist. The critisism against Israel is based on their actions, not on who they are.
