Both antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiments are growing. The latter is justified (and growing a lot faster), the former isn't, but especially when you look outside the western world there's no denying that outright antisemitism is on the rise, especially among muslims.

Much of the reason for them being connected is of course that the state of Israel pushes the idea that Israel=jews very hard all over the world.

They are of course lying, but they're still doing it, and it does work.

Really the fact that Israel is doing it just underlines how the government of Israel does not actually care about the safety of the Jewish diaspora.
