With over 1,500 antisemitic incidents between Oct. 7 and mid-November – three times the reported number in the entire 2022 – more French Jews seek to escape the climate of fear
ranging from the desecration of cemeteries to antisemitic graffiti and banners, social media attacks, vandalism against Jewish property, threats against Jews and a handful of assaults

And regarding Palestinian solidarity being conflated with anti-semitism, according to this The Guardian article, it stems from people conflating Jews with Israelis:
Whereas it used to be mostly an extreme-right phenomenon, police say some of the most virulent antisemitism now comes from young people of Muslim origin, who identify with the Palestinians as victims and conflate French Jews with their Israeli oppressors.
My reply was an explanation to what you wrote in this part and why it is considered antisemitic:
In a number of articles, graffiti of stars of David across buildings in France was categorized as anti-Semitic, which seems really weird to me because they weren’t defaced or altered in any way, just stars of David. On its face I would think that was…pro-semitic.
Also in the article that I have linked, the mention of this incident is immediately followed by this:
Police now believe this was a Russian-inspired destabilisation operation rather than a home-grown intimidation campaign.
They financially backed Saudi Arabia’s war against Yemen where over 377,000 Yemenites were killed, but barely anyone protested over that.
Palestinians in Lebanon are being heavily discriminated against for over 70 years, and yet no one protested over that.
On the other hand, countries funded and supported the Kurds’ fight against ISIS, and are still somewhat helping them against several countries and forces that have been trying to wipe them out for over 100 years. And this one’s without anyone protesting.
So similarly to how people protest according to the influence of geopolitics, countries also act according to geopolitics.
