The standard counter-argument to this allegation is that the Jewish minority in Iraq lives quite well and obviously refuses to emigrate despite Israeli offers.
It may be a too complex attitude, and "antisemitism" may be a poor and inadequate description for it.
There are many voices in the West that accuse Iran's government of antisemitism, but I keep my doubts about that because it fits poorly to some of its behaviour (see the minority) and doesn't appear to be the only possible explanation. Anti-Zionism works fine as explanation as well.
And it doesn't help that Israel is in defiance of a U.N resolution that's about the equal of a UN resolution that demanded Iraq's withdrawal from Kuwait.
Western hypocrisy in regard to the Near/Mid east conflicts doesn't help either.
This is all quite important because Western sources of conflict blocking a lasting non-violent conflict solution just as are their motives.
The difference between Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism is also important because one could be solved quickly by political concessions while the other could at best be solved by slow and steady erosion over generations.
Know your enemy.
And don't be satisfied with prejudices.
