I'm not a Corbynista by any means, I'm more of a social democrat, but I've seen Corbyn supporters branded as 'enablers of antisemitism' and complicit etc. and it just pisses me off tbh

The mass public groupthink at the moment (deliberately crafted) is that if anyone is philosophically against the idea of Israel as a state, or in fact, even has criticisms of how Israel / the Israeli military operates, they are now an "anti-semite" who "hates Jews". This presumably even applies to the many, many Jewish people internationally who are critical of Zionism / Israel. They just hate Jews, too.

It's a common shut-down tactic to be fair; much like the claim that anyone who has criticisms of the UK political system or anything to do with UK culture "just hates Britain". That one flies around on here semi-regularly.
