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.
