That bit is sarcastic hyperbole. Often we’re seeing people and media orgs who are anything shy of sycophantic to the Israeli government get accused of antisemitism.
The guardian has been better than most but they’re still doing a lot of laundering of genocide and settler-colonialism in their coverage. I am frustrated by stuff like the passive voice diminishing that literally every civilian dead and aid convey bombed is an activity policy choice. Jestingesting that to reduce it to mere reaction is to deny the Jewish people in government human qualities like agency and a moral compass.
Which I think there is a kernel of truth in.
edit: awkward phrasing, I think there is a kernel of truth in the idea it’s antisemitic to believe that Israeli people/the state somehow are less morally culpable because of the horror visited in Jewish people on the past/the present to a lesser extent.

Thanks, I didn’t catch the sarcasm, which was what had me confused.
