Yes, absolutely. Always and forever stand against antisemitism. During this conflict time, there have been heightened degrees of antisemitic crimes against Jewish people in Europe and most likely other areas of the world. In no way can such hatred ever be justified. If that's your only intention in saying this, just stop reading this comment now.
If this is in response to the treatment of Israel during their conflict with Palestine, I recommend looking more into the distinction between Judaism and Zionism, as well as the degree to which Israel is acting horribly towards the Palestinians. This is not an equal fight. Palestine doesn't have an army, nor do they have any access to aid so long as Israel keeps their doors closed. While Hamas is absolutely an anti-Jewish establishment that should not be justified, the claims that Israel has been making about Hamas's actions have so far been unverified with direct proof, and regardless of if they were, the ways in which innocent civilians are being directly harmed in this conflict is not justifiable in return. Multiple sources and experts are identifying this treatment of the Palestinians as genocide. It is dehumanization and has been happening under the public consciousness for too long. It is okay to denounce the crimes of Israel while also standing against antisemitism; oppression perpetuates oppression.
So like I said before, if this is truly just a "stand against antisemitism" post, all the power and truth to it. If this is in response to the Israel-Palestine conflict, then a blanket statement such as this deserves much more consideration. If you already knew all of that before posting, sorry lol, but hopefully this helps to educate at least a few other people on the boards
