It looks like the comment thread disappeared so this will probably be a private answer. Whatever. No, accusing a Jew of supporting Israel is not a NEGATIVE generalisation unless you think supporting Israel is a universally negative feature. So no, still not antisemitism.
It was stereotyping/profiling based on a name. It’s flagrant anti-semitism. If someone’s last name is a traditionally Palestinian name should we assume they hate Jewish people too?
The british example is terrible because they do not have a history of being persecuted for being British. Same reason calling someone a cracker isn’t the same as the n word.
