If you compare Israeli policy with apartheid South Africa, then I say yes. But I acknowledge that reasonable people can disagree with that assessment.
Do you even know what the word "anti-Semite" means?

I'm fine with Israel existing btw, but disagreeing with their policies doesn't make me an anti-Semite. Disagreeing with them and using them to make racist comments about Jews would. I'm not sure Hawking has done that (Bobby Fischer certainly has).
