Original sentence: Although these expressions of disrespect or hatred may be very similar to older manifestations of anti-Semitism, those who use the term usually argue that the new anti-Semitism takes a different form and is based on partially different pretexts.In this view, criticism of Israel, usually with respect to the Arab-Israeli conflict, serves both as a pretext and reinforcement of incitement against Jews.The form and pretexts of the new anti-Semitism are seen as different from older forms primarily because of the role of anti-Zionist and anti-Israeli rhetoric and sentiments.Those who believe that there is a "new anti-Semitism" generally claim that, whereas the "old" anti-Semitism came mainly from the political Right, many on the Left are now also accused of either promoting or expressing anti-Semitism in the form of unfair criticism, condemnation, and demonization of Israel
