There's nothing antisemitic per se about opposing the actions of the Israeli government. Israel is not the Jewish people nor are the Jewish people Israel, regardless of what Netanyahu or anti-semites would like you to think. But a lot of the accusations against Israel are A Rape on Campus-level incredible, and that includes claims that Greta Thunberg was sexually assaulted by the Israelis. Not because they're such saints, but because they're not utter idiots. I don't know about that particular cardiologist, but I do know doctors have been involved in creating and perpetuating Hamas hoaxes, including the "starving child" who actually was born with a genetic disease, and the bogus X-rays purporting to show infants executed by IDF soldiers. As with A Rape on Campus, you start to wonder why people are believing obvious nonsense. And in both cases, the most likely answer is hatred of the target.

Almost as bad as a large Swiss bank being founded by a guy named "Credit" and the other one "Suisse."
I had to check to see if that was the case. It wasn't, it really is just "Credit" and "Swiss". My favorite of those are Outerbridge Crossing and German Chocolate Cake. The former named for the first chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Eugene Outerbridge. The latter is named after an English-American baker, Samuel German. (No Mr. or Mrs. Crossing or Cake are involved, alas)
Wikipedia has Goldman's last name being fairly recent, but why his paternal grandfather (who was not in the gold trade) chose it to replace "Marx" isn't easy to find.

Blacks are even more of a political bloc than Jews. But no one claims the NAACP in engaging in some conspiracy to sell out the country to Wakanda or something.

The problem is your steelman -- even if you drop the "rationally" -- is rusty and backwards. The anti-Semites start with the Jew-hate for basically irrational reasons, and then come up with rationalizations. That's why the bulverism and mockery; the rational arguments are just window-dressing and the anti-Semites are unreachable by any means.

Who was a (self proclaimed) driving force behind the civil rights act?
Black people? The NAACP? John F. Kennedy? Lyndon Johnson? Hubert Humphrey? Everett Dirksen? Thomas Kuchel? Mike Mansfield?

From what I've seen they have a slightly higher IQ
Ashkenazi IQ is believed to be 3/4 to 1 SD above the mean. That's enormous.
This leads to the twitter meme of "check the early life section" where so-and-so famous person is always like "born into a jewish family, he attended an elite school and then quickly got promoted."
Ah, yes, like Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Or Larry Ellison. Or Marcus Goldman, going back a few generations. As you may recall, the elite schools used to have to beat Jews off with a stick (or a quota). In-group preference is a lousy explanation for Jewish success.

We are taught to resist and subvert legitimate authority, and submit to the opinions of strangers on the internet.
One might note that "legitimate authority" hasn't exactly covered itself with glory recently.

Delete Hanania and his followers, and the groypers, and the RINOs, and there's not much of a right remaining. As the last election showed.

It doesn't rule out anti-semitism because jealousy may be "invalid" but it's also going to happen. You can't "rule out" antisemitism, any more than you can rule out other such sentiments. Aside from dissolving the identity utterly, but that's not going to happen with most identities, and certainly not with Jews.

He practically begged Fuentes to settle down and get married.
But since Fuentes is against gay marriage, this is very unlikely to happen.

Thing is, even if they stated the orders, they wouldn't get any significant chunk of the military to refuse them. Pretty much all of the "immigration horror" videos I've seen involve not the military but Customs and Border Protection. If you went into that agency (which is civilian anyway), you're not going to have any problem with the orders to arrest illegals. The National Guard has been used against rioters, and also to basically show the flag by standing around and looking tough, and (aside from the deployment itself, which will play out in the courts, not in refusals by individual soldiers) doesn't involve any facially illegal orders.
So if they specified anything, not only would they be treading closer to actionable sedition, but they'd get nothing for it.

I do not believe the US has condemned Russia for using cluster munitions or land mines, for instance.

It definitely demonstrates the "absurd" dominance of American power. But the tone of the comment was how it was horrible for the US to do this, not how it was horrible for the US to have the power to do this.

Isn't that exactly what western Zionists are doing? Jews are allowed to look out for Jews, but Christians aren't allowed to look out for Christians.
Zionists? What does this have to do with Israel?
Imagine a Heritage Foundation report about how over-represented Jews are at prestige schools and professions, and how correspondingly under-represented Protestant Whites are. Do you think the ADL and Bari Weiss would say that was acceptable?
The ADL wouldn't, but the ADL is just Jewish-tinged leftism. I don't know about Weiss, I haven't read her lately, but if what amadanb says, probably not -- but that's her self-interest. Personally I don't see why the Heritage Foundation would make such a report -- they're not a Christian organization. But if some Protestant organization were to make such a report, it shouldn't be considered racism or unacceptable; it's just self-interest and should be looked at in that light. Doesn't mean any recommendations they make should be followed, of course; that's actually one of the OTHER problems with the ADL, that they are somehow looked at as the voice of authority rather than a pro-Jewish interest group.

This would probably improve the lot of most Jews, who stand to take some proportion of the spoils currently reserved for URM.
Of course it would, most Jews are white and get no help from the DEI stuff. There's a core of leftist mostly-secular Jewish ideologues who help keep most American Jews on the Democrat's side -- that's the truth behind the Noticing our Holocaust-enjoyers like to engage in. The Democrat's rhetorical support for Palestinians provided an opportunity to peel off Jews who were merely self-interested (which as I said below, is perfectly normal) from the leftist ideologues, and Trump took it. Now people like Fuentes are trying to squander that, and will likely succeed.

He's helping an ally (Israel) against an enemy (the ICC). Israel hasn't been the best of allies, but the ICC has been a perfectly fine enemy.

Yep. Step one in making things better for young white men is killing affirmative action, which is directly discriminating against them. Step two getting rid of all the indirect discrimination -- includes that degree inflation, regulations that harm industries with a lot of blue collar jobs (which are disproportionately male), bans on disparate impact (which goes to "white" more than "men"), that sort of thing. Taxes probably come after that. Jews aren't even on the map. Randy Fine ought to resign, but his stanning for Israel isn't having a measurable negative impact on white men in the US.

Presumably because they know that having positions that wouldn't be out of place in 19th century Eastern European peasants marks them as "low human capital", as another figure on the "right" likes to say.
You can say it all you want, it ain't. Even if the Israelis were the ogres you claim, it wouldn't be credible that they'd mistreat someone as visible and with friends as powerful as Greta Thunberg.
I found the original report this claim supposedly comes from. It has few statistics and says basically nothing at all (it doesn't even make that claim).
The child wasn't starving; its appearance was due to the disease. And yes, the actual starving is in question.
