Ironically, the poll also found, 50% of Democrats and 18% of Republicans (and 36% of all respondents) agreed with the proposition that “Jewish people are too hyper-sensitive and too often label legitimate criticisms of Israel as an anti-Semitic attack.”

I'd probably agree with that statement, but with an additional caveat - I don't think it's innocent sensitivity, but frequently a cynical ploy to deflect criticism.

I'd agree with both of you, but would add that often people make statements that they don't believe are antisemitic, but actually are, at least according to certain standards.

I strongly dislike the use of the word "anti-semitic" the very moment someone questions or criticizes Israel. It's used to instantly appeal to emotion to discredit someone, and it's quite frankly disgustingly overused.
