In the entire, very long article, there are only three references to Jewishness - twice saying that people had Jewish immigrant parents, and once in reference to the makeup of a particular mob which also references their Italian members, putting the lie to your claim that other ethnic backgrounds are not mentioned.
Making things out to be anti-semitic when they're not, such as happened to Corbyn, is a popular smear tactic. It's pretty disgusting though, and many Jewish people have pointed out that it's a very harmful and anti-semitic thing to do.

It's pretty disgusting though, and many Jewish people have pointed out that it's a very harmful and anti-semitic thing to do. That ship has long sailed in the US. I don't see this behavior stopping in earnest until the greater populace stops giving any credibility to the claims due to repetitional damage. In fact right now they have become emboldened after the 2020 elections. Meanwhile there is a real rise in anti-semitism that is likely occurring among the far-right. Change is starting to happen online in that every single thread i've been seeing on Reddit/HN that calls out Israel also tends to completely swat away the anti-Semitic claims thrown out when any criticism of Israel typically occurs. Whether this translates into real world changes remains to be seen but we are starting to see it in the voting patterns of Millennials and Gen-Z(them supporting comments made by "the Squad" and electing more reps that don't shy away). It very will likely be a generational shift as Israel continues to damage its reputation in the US due to its tactics.
