Considering the value that the government of Israel has by action showed it places on, not only the lives of human beings who are Palestinian, but even on the lives of the human beings who are Israeli and were kidnapped by Hamas, I very much doubt they lose any sleep when Jews are victims of anti-semitism abroad because Israel has purposefully conflated itself with the entire Jewish Religion (in order to hide behind it whilst commiting the most despicable of acts) and lots of people believe it.

They probably just see it as a way to further exploit that connection betwee Judaism and Israel that they've cultivated and spin the plight of those Jews to further portray the nation of Israel as a victim: in other words the State of Israel actually gains whenever a Jew out there is victimized in response to the actions of the State of Israel because the perpetrator believed the State of Israel's own deceitful portrayal of itself as being the same as all members of the Jewish Religion.
