FUD and rationalising. We do understand the real reason they don't like it.
By the way, in the Arab world (my reading of "some West Asian and North African markets". Nice euphemism, btw) there isn't the same stigma as in the West so they usually don't feel the need to be cautious and say exactly what they mean, i.e. "the Jews".
Israel is genociding Palestinians with western material support. Not only is being against that not antisemitic, it's gruesome to imply that good jews and gentiles simp for said genocide, and it's racist to paint North Africa with an antisemitic label when in fact these countries host jewish communities of their own. (Edit: religion is irrelevant to the immorality of genocide support)
100%.
