Any election at the moment is a crap shoot. People don't want to vote for Corbyn, but the Tories at the moment seem determined not to do the one thing that could actually win them an election at a canter and have been sufficiently incompetent as to allow Farage back in to demolish their voter base. The tories can elect a Brexiteer as leader, but unless the party is prepared to follow him, nothing will change.
But the urge to define anti-Semitism as any criticism of Israel (and not of people with Jewish DNA), and to enshrine that in law, IS similar to the urge to define Islamophobia as any criticism of Islam.
Besides, anti-Semites will say that if "The Joos" abandon their schemes to rule the world then they'll have no further issue with them.
I think criticism of Israel is OK. However, calling for its destruction while using the term zionist when you mean 'Jew' is not.
Also, there are lots more repressive and unjust states on earth than Israel. If you choose to ignore those and focus particularly on the perceived shortcomings of the only Jewish state on earth, you can hardly be surprised when people are suspicious of your motives.
