Blaming Jews Generally for Israel
This trope conflates Jewish identity with political actions of the Israeli state, leading to unjustified hostility and violence against Jewish individuals and communities.
What is being claimed or implied
Blaming Jews generally for the misdeeds of Israel:
If Jews are equated with Zionists, and in particular if Zionism is equated with support of the most extreme policies of the State of Israel, then Jews can be blamed for the misdeeds of Israel, and actively targeted in their religious and community facilities or as individuals. In the first example below we see an assumption that religious British Jews are "#Zionists" (hence Iranian-controlled Press TV sees a synagogue/mosque interfaith event as betraying Palestinians). In the second example, a British Jew travelling peacefully has had a Palestinian flag stuck on his mouth by a Palestinian activist.
The interfaith event in question was with UK Jewish groups. Simple switch out.
This university student eventually admitted what he did but denied he was antisemitic. Nottingham Trent Uni went on to expel him.
