I wonder if that's following a definition of antisemitism which considers any criticism of the Israeli government as antisemitic?
According to this article (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/sep/04/labour-adopts-ihra-antisemitism-definition-in-full https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/sep/04/labour-adop...):
> The most controversial passage in the draft statement proposed by Corbyn said: “It cannot be considered racist to treat Israel like any other state or assess its conduct against the standards of international law. Nor should it be regarded as antisemitic to describe Israel, its policies or the circumstances around its foundation as racist because of their discriminatory impact, or to support another settlement of the Israel-Palestine conflict.”
This statement was not approved by Labour's ruling body.
