Sorry, but when you equate antisemitism with opposition to the apartheid state of Israel, this is what you get
While I'm sure that may account for some small portion of the misinformation/denialism, I doubt it's that much of an impact. Like do you really expect that the average person has a nuanced understanding of Israel/Palestine? No way. Many of the people interviewed probably don't even know that the conflict is about land control or based around religion.
I think people know that "antisemitism" has become a political cudgel, and most people are so alienated from and apathetic to politics they've begun to tune it out.

Yeah that's probably true, maybe especially the UK's political/media class VS pro-Palestine Labour. Meanwhile actual anti-semitism is ignored.
Definitely in the UK with the Corbyn smearing.
