    Perhaps you are unaware of the Spanish academic boycott of Ariel University. Presuming you know that the definition of anti-semitism is "prejudice against Jews," you must realize that numerous campaigns are developing around the world to protest the Israeli 42 year occupation of Palestinian territory, and against the building of settlements in the West Bank and the annexation of Jerusalem. All these activities are violations of international law, UN resolutions, and the 4th Geneva Convention, and thus war crimes. These protests, the UK trade unions boycott of Israeli goods,Turkish rejection of IAF in military exercise, the International Federation of Israeli Journalists dismissal by the International Federation of Journalists, , French Trade Union Solidaires Industries mounting Israeli boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign, etc.,etc., are protests against policies of the State of Israel, and have nothing to do with prejudice against Jews per se.
