This is because the definition of "anti-semitic" just changed recently. Dictionaries are very flexible in times of crisis, apparently.
So now that it means "critical of Israel's actions."
This means that it is "a sin" to criticize Israel's politics, including its ongoing genocide of the indigenous Palestinians.
What should one call *the sin* of criticizing New Zealand's foreign policy? What about the forbidden act of criticizing the foreign policy of Burkina Faso? The mortal sin of criticizing the actions of Guatemala's government?
Are these all some kind of forbidden sin by now? Or are we, like domestic dogs, expected to recoil from criticizing our master?

The goal is to use Afghanistan to wash money out of the tax bases of the US and Europe through Afghanistan and back into the hands of a transnational security elite.
The goal is an endless war, not a successful war.
