You’re assuming that an antisemite would be thinking rationally. jew-hatred doesn’t tend to be based in rational thinking. Rather it is a basic expression of spite and vitriol. Being “pro-palestine” at the same time gives a convenient excuse to act out and a mass of people to hide amongst, emboldening the ones who otherwise wouldn’t dare.
In any case, I hope that’s enough to answer your original question.
