Antisemitism to Palestinian support is like misandry to feminism. Yeah, some people might be guilty of it (and those who are, misunderstand the latter ideologies), but it's way overrepresented in opposing media, who is often guilty of such issues itself.
Also "Stop Killing Children" or "Demand a Ceasefire Now" aren't "pro-Palestinian" messages, they're anti-killing messages.
Just because the children being killed happen to be Palestinian doesn't make that a pro-Palestinian message. It can be a general message that is applicable to whoever's children happen to be getting killed right now.
If someone says "stop the attacks on civilians now", how do you even know if they're talking about Gaza, Ukraine or both?
I'd argue that if they put up a Palestinian flag, it's clear that Palestine is being referred to.
In principle, though, I agree with your first point
Sure, they're referring to Palestine in this case. But, it doesn't necessarily mean that they're fully "pro-Palestine". They're undoubtedly pro Palestinian kids. But, that doesn't mean that they side with Palestine over Israel in the general case.
Well they should... If You or they know the history of Israel
Aren't Palestinians a semitic people?
Yes but anti-semitism has been co-opted to apply only to Jews (erasure of millions of other semitic people, that is, people who speak a semitic language other than Hebrew) just like the Holocaust has come to mean only the Jewish victims of Nazi genocide, which is erasure of the 5 million other victims in the various groups that were killed by Nazis.
That’s an invalid dictionary argument and you know it. To clarify, when I said “antisemitism” I meant “a discriminatory attitude towards Jews” or something along those lines
Nice comeback and so civil as well. I wish I could do that.

But you didn’t utter it, you typed it.
