The fact that most outsiders are unable to distinguish between the people of Israel and its government is tragic.
There has been a broad effort to conflate criticism of the current government with "anti-antisemitism", to make it a crime to criticize the government.
That's been Beeb's playbook. Claiming that only he represents Israel and all the Jewish people. Therefore, any criticism of him is an antisemitic attack. Most Israelis have bought into this trope and they see antisemitism everywhere. It has practically become a paranoid obsession. They hate him domestically while serving as his useful idiots when facing outward. And the same trope has become pervasive among non-Jews too - all Jews are responsible for what the Beeb does, so in fact the antisemitism has become a self fulfilling prophecy.
