Labour Party and Anti-Semitism

Ken Livingstone and Naz Shah have been suspended from the Labour Party for alleged anti-Semitic remarks.  I have no idea whether or not these two individuals are anti-Semitic, but there is a problem here that does not seem to be voiced in the media, and that is you cannot criticise Israel's policies without being accused of anti-Semitism.  I say this both as a Jew (albeit a non-practising agnostic one) and a member of the Labour Party.
The Board of Deputies of British Jews in particular, thinks co-religionists who criticise Israel are letting the side down!
Why is it all right to criticise radicalised Muslins, but not Jewish settlers who think they have a God-given right to Palestinian territory because of some four-thousand year old bible story? Their justification for the settlements is quite ridicules.  
My own view about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is that there are rights and wrongs on both sides, but the Palestinians have been hard done by.  The only way to lasting peace is by compromise, but that doesn't seem likely in the near future.
What worries me about current political attitudes, is the danger to free speech; you cannot criticise religious faiths, or practices without being branded as racist, or at the very least intolerant.
The fact is you can respect a person,even if you think his beliefs are silly, or nonsense.  I have a very good friend who is a practising Christian.  He believes in the divinity of Jesus, the virgin birth, and the resurrection.  He knows exactly what I think about that, but we are still friends.  In any case, no one has a right not to be offended.
