No, this is just Israel finding a way to avoid criticism. Any time someone tries to criticize Israel, they just get labelled an anti-Semite by Israel supporters. It's a way to shutdown any criticism of Israel. It's extremely disingenuous.

There's other part of this article that are also disingenuous - "It equated the policies of Israel, of which I am a citizen and where I still have family, with apartheid." It's disingenuous to claim Israel's policies aren't apartheid when they literally say things like, "The right to exercise national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish people".
