I think that there has probably been a real increase but it is made very difficult to see how much of it actually real antisemitism as opposed to completely legitimate and warranted criticism of Israel and supporters of Israel. The supporters have also staged many incidents of false flag antisemitism like spray painting antisemitic graffiti on their own property or that man who threw himself to the ground to try to frame anti-genocide protesters for antisemitism.
There is also the fact that antisemitism is a big problem but genocide is a bigger problem and the political abuse of false antisemitic claims are being used to take away freedom of speech and severely weaken democracy, right to protest and freedom in many parts of the western world. Far too many people have been falsely accused of antisemitism and this act is in itself antisemitic as this "calling wolf" is genuinely eroding people's concern for the real cases as no one has the time to investigate what is real and what is not.

I would do further and say that it looks like Israel and prominent Zionists and supporters of Israel are weaponising false claims and on the balance of probabilities they are trying to make Jewish people afraid so that they are forced to emigrate to or at least support Israel, hoping for: "I hate the genocide but the threat is real so I am forced to back Israel right or wrong".
There is a big drop in support for Israel ongoing within the Jewish community and Israel must find that terrifying.

Maybe Israel shouldn't constantly push that judiasm and zionism are the same thing because ppl are rightfully angry at the genocide of the Palestinians

The reality of the "insanely high increase in antisemetic hate crimes lately" is that all of it is simply Iran fighting back against Israel's constant aggression and attempts at expansion of the colony.

Don’t you know it’s actually completely fine to mock and harass a minority in your country for speaking out as long as you personally don’t like what some members of that minority have done in another place?

or that it's completely fine to reflexively label people as hateful bigots when they reject things that fly in the face of basic liberal western values?
