On first gloss, I think your questions all kind of involve different types of disagreement.
1. "Does anti-Israeli-ism = anti-Semitism?"
No, not at all, I think (reading between the lines) we agree here.
2. Can you dislike the actions and policies (or even existence) of the state of Israel, and not be a racist?
part A: (actions and policies) Of course ... disagreeing with North Korea's policies doesn't necessarily mean you are racist towards North Koreans.
part B: (existence) This could be interpreted many different ways and I think a positive response to this question could be construed as racism a lot easier than the others.
Just my thoughts though ...
