There is a an alliance of sorts, between the State of Israel, and old school antisemites, to tie being Jewish to also being Israeli. Something that is basically endorsed by that government, because why wouldn't they? It gives them free international influence, regardless of what the people included in the nationalist "we" think of it, and it's not like they're the only state to do it - and especially handy with how unpopular the great slaughter in Gaza has become.
Especially based on an ideological foundation of ethnic nationalism so strong to reach all the way to the fringe within the liberals (a.k.a. the demsoc left - peddling social democracy worldwide and pretending it's Marx).
Criticism equals antisemitism, and if done by a Jewish person, then it's basically being a "race traitor", as other nationalists would say.
