I agree with most of that, but I think you're reading a lot into two sentences.

This type of thinking is exactly what the Israeli lobby wants. If you can conflate any criticism of Israel with antisemitism, then you can silence critics and make other people afraid to speak up. (Of course, some criticism of Israel is antisemitic, but it's dangerous to start from that assumption.)
