I might have a "birthright" to become a citizen of Israel, but that doesn't mean that I, as an American Jew, have a strong connection to Israel. It definitely doesn't mean that I have influence over what Israel does or am somehow responsible for Israel's actions.
I've recently seen people celebrating attacks on a Jewish temple and bakery in America because "they are a symbol of Zionist aggression." The person was justifying anti-semitic attacks on American Jews because "Israel did X." I expect this antisemitism from the right, but this was coming from someone on the left. As an American Jew, it's scary to suddenly face antisemitism for something I have no influence over from both sides of the aisle.

Got a link? Because a lot of those videos have been proven to be disinformation, and videos from years ago completely unrelated to the conflict. One of them was people celebrating after a soccer game.

Calling every temple or Jewish run business in America fair game because they are "a symbol of the Jewish/Zionist state" is definitely anti-semitic.
