When someone tells obvious lies, like saying it is forbidden for non-Jews to marry Jews in Israel, their anti-Semitism is obvious.==

I red in press that people from Israel need to go to Cyprus to marry if they are not both of same religion mean jusdism. The Rabbi COunsil forbid to bless such marriges but all the marrirages in Isarel are registered by Rabbi Counsil.
Same way for burriage.

One can read almost anything one wants to read in the "press." Presumably this "news item" comes from the Pamyat weekly newspaper.

Again, telling vicious lies about Jews in order to discredit them is anti-Semitism, pure and simple.

If someone wants to have a Jewish wedding ceremony between a non-Jew and a Jew in Israel, Israeli rabbis will not perform it. So couples who want this go rabbi-shopping abroad to find a rabbi who wants to do it.

Are you arguing in favor of a law which would force private citizens (rabbis) to perform ceremonies they don't want to perform? If Orthodox priests in Russia refuse to perform wedding ceremonies between Orthodox believers and Scientologists, should the Russian government force all Orthodox priests to perform the ceremonies at gunpoint?

Some rabbis will perform it. Few will. You could also get a priest or imam to perform it.
