I think @Avi-K nailed it when he said “Anti-Semitism and philo-Semitism can be two sides of the same coin.”

Anti-Semites and philo-Semites both hold stereotypes of the Jews, Anti-Semites holding negative ones and philo-Semites holding positive ones.
(whether stereotypes can be good is another topic)

So when anyone stereotypes Jews as Israelis, the question becomes; what are their views on Israel?
Trump obviously holds positive views.
Omar holds negative views.

Or as @yserbius123 @commonsaychel and @thinkingcap put it:

I think the answer has to be looked at on a case by case basis.

I know it when I see it

Usually the motivations behind the statements made can be clearly diciphered by knowing who is making the statement or the context.
