No the anti-Semitism is the implicit notion that they act as a hive mind. Believing people are merely exemplars of their race or creed (and what they are is always bad / violent /devious ) is what racism is. It denies individual agency and reduces them to a members of a sort of ant army that's working tirelessly to achieve some unified goal.

When people talk like that, it's just factualy wrong and marks them as a racist. It's running reality through a reducing valve so it's somehow easier to think about and easier to decide how to act. It's a crude attempt to reduce the inherent hypercomplexity of the real world, which is filled with real individuals and their independent wills and perspectives and motivations and beliefs.

If I point out the fact that the uber-rich (mostly jews in the western world, mostly Chinese in the eastern) are colluding with each other to consolidate power between their own sub-groups, would you call me anti-semitic or racist? If you would, then I feel sorry for you. I have asians in my family, and I have jewish blood in me, and I don't look down on individuals from those cultures just because there is evil in said culture... It's like hating all Americans for what happened to the Native Americans.... not all Americans alive today would've supported such actions. I don't blame the cultures, but if someone were to write down the factual information about these people and they didn't mention their race/culture, I would find it to be disingenuous.
