I have no skin in this game.

What I have seen is a confusion (perhaps intentional) between anti-semitism, and protesting Israel’s behavior since the Hamas attack in October.

Criticizing Israel’s response is not anti-Semitism- it is literally just criticizing the response.

The question is, what is so special about the Israeli/Palestine conflict that leads to these outsized protests? I do not recollect a similar response to the treatment of ISIS or the war in Yemen, even though both had the unconditional support of the US war machine. Even if the left could be absolved of antisemitism, the resistance groups it is aligning itself with clearly can not.

One answer is these media efforts. Isreal works hard to draw attention to its conflicts, and to try to turn that attention into support.

I'd note the Ukranians worked very hard to draw attention to their war as well, and they were quite successful at that.

No. Israel would like nothing more than to not be the center of attention every time it's attacked and tries to defend itself.

As mentioned in the article, they are paying for social media ad campaigns. That is not the behavior of people wanting to avoid attention.

That's a bit naïve. The other side is going full throttle, including through ivy league presidents, the New York Times, and the BBC. Of course they're going to try to fight back.
