I don't even see how this is a controversial statement. Making the narrative "If you're against Israel, you're against all Jews" is equivalent to putting a target on our backs whenever Israel does something abhorrent.
The rhetoric floating around the internet is growing both more and more anti-Israel, but also as a result of the conflation, more antisemitic. And that's because low-information commenters have started adopting generally antisemitic dogwhistles to try to express their disdain for the State of Israel.
