This tragic minimization — or justification, in some cases — of violence against Israeli women appears to be the result of an ideological turn among some feminists and progressives that elevates an “antiracist” agenda above the core feminist commitment to defend the universal right to bodily autonomy for all women. This argument contends that because Israel is a colonial power oppressing the Palestinians, any resistance is a justified dimension of decolonization. The “settler colonialism” concept that undergirds this position, however, is insufficient to characterize a complex conflict between two majority nonwhite peoples who both have long-standing claims to the contested land. When such a theory serves to excuse rape, it is simply indefensible.

And then there was this from an earlier wave of antisemitism in the guise of "criticism of Israel", in a Jewish area of London. There was little notice let alone sympathy outside of Jewish circles. Charges were dropped.

Linking to an article because I can't bear typing out what was said.
