All tigers are cats and not all cats are tigers. Yes you can be against Israel actions and not be anti-Semetic. However if you are anti-Semetic you almost definitely are against Israel. I will say that when discussing Israel with people who are anti-Israel I have numerously ran across comments consisting basically of "You Jews" or something that made my eyebrows go, ok this person is anti-Semetic so no point in having a conversation any longer. Personally in my limited experience I find that to a large extend the majority are anti-Semetic as well.
I will also say just because you are Jewish, does not mean you can not be anti-semetic, I hate hearing that, the biggest haters are Jewish themselves and use the fact that their mothers were Jewish as a shield.
