Last week there were a couple articles that found their way into my news feed that reminded me of recent discussions on this forum.
First:

Cynthia McKinney, a former elected member of the US House of Representatives and oft-times conspiratard tweets a conspiracy theory linking Israel to the attacks in Nice France and Munich Germany. Cynthia says;
"Same Israeli photographer captures Nice and Munich tragedies," McKinney, the Green Party's presidential nominee in 2008, tweeted, including a video about the issue.
"How likely is that? Remember the Dancing Israelis?"
Indeed, mustn't forget the dancing Israelis.
It turns out the photographer isn't Israeli but German, but he's married to an Israeli politician, so in McKinney's mind and the mind of the guy who posted the you-tube video she links to, makes the conspiracy theory plausible.
In another article a German University is criticized for holding lectures claiming Israel harvests Palestinian organs:
http://ift.tt/2aH7FSC
“Our sons were robbed of their organs,” was the title of a part of the seminar’s course material, Rebecca Seidler, an academic who blew the whistle on the anti-Israel material, told the weekly German-Jewish newspaper Jüdische Allgemeine Zeitung in an article published Thursday.
It doesn't say so in the article, but I noticed that the title of that part of the course reflects an article written back in 2009 by a Swedish journalist named Donald Boström titled "Våra söner plundras på sina organ" ("Our sons are plundered of their organs"), which was so widely criticized that even Electronic Intifada said it was unfounded and unhelpful.
Also, I was able to locate the original publication, thought the translation to English is done by Google and is a bit clumsy;
http://ift.tt/2ajOGKj
What I notice is that since none of this mentions Jews but only Israel that it's very likely that many who self-identify as anti-Zionist wouldn't recognize this as anti-Semitism, believing incorrectly that the two are wholly different entities.
