It's a sure sign of it. Just being against the nation of Israel otoh isn't. No more than being against the US stealing of native American lands makes you anti-American. Indeed, one is only against the actions of a country if one has hope in the people of that country to do better and elect better leaders. There is a clear difference between being prejudiced against an ethnicity and being against a nation's actions and policies, particularly when that nation has banished you from your own homeland and imprisons you in a ravaged and wartorn territory bombing all your churches and apts and hospitals and cutting off all your food supplies.
You didn't actually answer the question. You said it was "a sure sign of it" but then immediately told me what
wasn't antisemitism.
Maybe you can answer this question more directly:
What are some other forms of antisemitism?
You know, if you actually recognize any.
The silence to that simple question is very telling. MR couldn't even be bothered to just copy/paste a sensible answer.
I guess too many of them match his own behavior.
UN Refuses to Cooperatively Distribute Aid as Reported Hunger Grows in Gaza
The United Nations rejected offers by the U.S.- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) to deliver much-needed humanitarian aid to Gazan civilians that is sitting undelivered inside the Gaza Strip despite the United Nations’ own warnings about widespread hunger. “We’ve been sounding the alarm for weeks on the need for more aid in Gaza while we’ve seen aid by the UN and other organizations being piled near the borders but not being delivered,” GHF Interim Director John Acree said. UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric rejected the offer on July 23, accusing the GHF of setting up operations that “increase the risk of people [being] shot at or trampled while trying to get food.”
And straight from the UN:
Question: Hi. Thanks for having me on. With all of its flaws, and there are many, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has been issuing these daily pleas to the UN to offer some sort of cooperation between agencies and GHF. Is there any sort of response you want to give to them and their pleas?
Spokesman: It’s the same response we’ve been giving over and over again. There is enough work for many humanitarian organizations for us to work with. We welcome working with any other partners. All we ask is that those partners ... don’t set up an operation that will increase the risk of people to be shot at or trampled while trying to get food. Also, we have a system that works. All we’re asked is to be allowed to do that system. I don’t think we need to add another layer of for-profit organizations. We need humanitarian partners, and we welcome working with any and every humanitarian partners that works along those basis.

So hundreds of trucks of UN aid remains undistributed because the UN just doesn't like how the US/Israel-backed GHF secures distribution. IOW, the UN doesn't want it secured against Hamas theft.
And NBC misrepresents their own story:
Israel has long maintained that the restrictions are in place to prevent Hamas from stealing the food, though an internal U.S. government analysis found no evidence of systematic theft of the supplies by Hamas over the past 20 months. - https://www.nbcnews.com/world/middle-eas...rcna221225
But following that link:
The analysis, which has not been previously reported, was conducted by a bureau within the U.S. Agency for International Development and completed in late June. It examined 156 incidents of theft or loss of U.S.-funded supplies reported by U.S. aid partner organizations between October 2023 and this May.
It found “no reports alleging Hamas” benefited from U.S.-funded supplies, according to a slide presentation of the findings seen by Reuters.

Maybe the Venn diagram of illiterates and antisemites has heavy overlap, but "no evidence" would seem to imply more than "no evidence of
US-funded aid theft."
So not only from the corrupt USAID, but also pretending it means more than it actually says.
