It's anti-Semitic because it's invoking the puppetmaster tropes. This is a racist trope that's been directed at Jews to suggest they're controlling world events. All that's happened is they're replacing 'Jew' with 'Israel' to try and dismiss claims of anti-Semitism.

This is a potential example. Anti-Semitic code words used here are "globalists" and the reference to ""Goldman Sachs"

Nigel Farage has claimed that “globalists” are using the coronavirus pandemic to push their agenda.
Later in the article Mr Farage makes reference to “numerous reports” of “Goldman Sachs executives” having a say in EU policy, “behind closed doors, of course.”
In 2019, the Guardian found that Mr Farage had appeared six times on the Alex Jones talk show, in which he repeatedly used words and phrases such as “globalists” and “new world order”, which regularly feature in antisemitic tropes.
