>But the funny thing is that about half the Jews in Israel are as brown as any Arabs because they lived in the Middle East for the past 2,000 years, only getting expelled to Israel after 1948.
That's like a Subliminal rap video (Israeli rapper) where they're saying the Old Testament God is here, bitch, and they're going full Barak on people and they're not talking about not Barack Obama. That is, the ancient Jewish ruler who destroyed the Canaanites:

One of these guys' parents is from Iran and Tunisia. I have seen pro-Israel the left-wing anti-colonial discourse around by saying that a majority of Israeli Jews at this point are from MENA countries, not Europe. But the pro-Israel types don't mention that the shift to the right in Israeli politics was in tandem with them rising up in Israeli society. The more liberal / peace camp types tend to be Ashkenazis, while the Mizrahim are not. The animosity towards the Arabs is more personal. The attitude is closer to people on the Western far right a few years ago who made pro-Assad memes during the Syrian civil war that said "curb your terrorism." This complicates the argument that Israeli aggression is the epitome of Western racism and colonialism.

If you squint at it, you can find Jews spreading that nonsense. But anti-Semitism isn't really about "Jews" or "Israel." It's about a hole in your own theory of the world, and inability to account for things which have stopped making sense (in religious terms it's a splitting off from your oneness with God, while Jews are at some distance from their own God, they're not "one" with God). The left-wing fixation on Israel as the epitome of all the evils of Western racism and colonialism is similar because their own theories are less adequate at describing the world as it is, so there's some dissonance there. Like, this post-colonial discourse from the 60s? This is during a time when Western cities are filling up the descendants of colonized people, when the center of the world economy has moved to East Asia, and when some of the most aggressive and imperialist regimes are not Western. You necessarily have to mystify things a bit.
