Criticism of Israel is not "Jew-bashing" - and listening politely to such criticisms is not anti-semitic - especially in a politician who, if anything, has indicated himself to be rather extreme in his support of Israeli claims.

And that expression "the Jewish community is looking for..." implies a degree of unanimity among diaspora Jes which does not exist.

For example, here's the webpage of an organisation that was launched a few days ago - International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network (I found it from a mention by (Jewish) columnist Michele Hanson in this week's Guardian, where they include a note of what the columnists have been up to that week:

This week Michele watched In Love With Barbara: "A mesmerising portrayal of Barbara Cartland by Anne Reid, which made me almost fond of someone I thought I couldn't bear. Fabulous acting from everyone." She attended the launch of the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network: "Which shows that not all Jews are Zionists. And about time too."
