I don't know, I think you're being way too dismissive about many people's intentions.
I've had plenty of arguments here on HN about Israel, and it doesn't seem like most people are just antisemites. Many people have concrete, legitimate criticisms of Israel (and frankly, there's plenty to criticize.)
Sure, some could be motivated by antisemitism, but 99% of people? That doesn't seem right to me. At all.
(E.g. in most arguments, anyone even a little knowledgeable will argue specifically against settlements or against certain actions of the IDF, not just blanket "against Israel existing.")
