What does it matter? Everyone knows the anti-semites in the US are the left-wing. Remember all the left's rage against having the US move the Embassy to Jerusalem?
Everyone knows except the Jews, apparently. The anti-semitism I've experienced (including, but not limited to, losing job opportunities, property vandalism, threats to my Jewish employer, and a cross burned on my lawn) came from the right.
Criticism of Israel =/= anti-semitism, though it can cross that line. I don't worry about my safety in the US from the BDS crowd the way I do about tiki torch Nazis.
Don't confuse antisemitism with the apparent lack of support for Israel. Today's US Jews are more liberal than they are active supporters of Israel, a foreign country. They do not hate Israel, just don't promote it like some on the right.
This is a very reasonable and fair response. I do not detect anti-semitism from liberals - only a lack of support for Israel. Not the same thing.
I'm married to an ethnically-Jewish Republican and he would laugh out loud at the idea that conservatives are anti-semitic. Not every Jew is a liberal, not every Republican is a white supremacist, and smart people know this and don't say stupid things to the contrary.

The right is OK with moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem. It's the left that pitched a colossal anti-Semitic fit.

Of course it's the same thing. The population of Israel is over 75% Jewish. They recognize Jerusalem as their capital. Now the US does, too. It's only the anti-Semitic US left-wing that's against it.

FACT: Actually just about every nation in the world DOES NOT not recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

It's none of their business. The country itself has the right to choose their own capital, just like the US ultimately decided on Washington, DC as its capital. The US right-wing in the US recognizes Israel's choice. The anti-Semitic left in the US does not.

The state of Israel is a creation of the United Nations.
The city of Jerusalem was kept an international city for some very good reasons, until such time as the parties could reach an amicable mutual agreement on the subject, and it has been a prime motivation for peace discussions. Everyone understood this until president knucklehead came to town.
Does the UN still govern Israel? Or is Israel self-governing? Answer that question, and you'll know WHO gets to choose Israel's capital.
They didn't give Jerusalem to Israel, nor to the Palestinians.
It is not Israel's to take. They have no more right to establish their capital in Jerusalem than in Miami.
