This is mainly in reply to your diary. A good diary, and I agree with most of the points you make. However, as usual, there is more than one side to it.
More often than not, people face charges of antisemitism as soon as they criticize AIPAC, the Israeli Lobby or any Israeli policy. It is absurd, but anyone who have voiced public opposition to Israeli policies, who is not a Jew, can certainly attest to this. In fact, even Jews who take such positions are often called "self-hating Jews".
So you are right, in that Israeli positions are often confused with Jewish positions and the line is blurred, the only question is, who started it and why? In loosely following the rationale of "follow the money", you can see how people that I talk about, gain by blurring these lines, whereas DKos diarist really work against their own arguments when making this mistake.
