The Israelis would be better served if they would stick to justifying their actions instead of of reflexively dismissing the Euro-leftists as anti-semites, which is sure to incite further resentment against their policies. Relying upon ad hominums as the basis for your arguments rings hollow and convinces no one of the righteousness of your position.

Israel has been justifying its actions and refuting its opponents.
The point of the article is to remine Israelis who the modern anti-Semites are.
When European leftists recycle anti-Semitic claims from the middle ages or early 20th century in political diatribes against Israel, they are anti-Semitic.
