You do realize that Trump isn't keeping certain people out because they're "brown", right?
He tries to keep people from Muslim countries out because he perceives them to be terror threats, and the people from Mexico out because he perceives them to be both a violent crime threat and a drain on our resources.
Even if you disagree with his conclusions about these people, this isn't policy borne from racism, though the left tries very hard to push the narrative that Trump is an open racist.
The rest of your statement, as I believe I understand it, is mostly correct. Trump is pro-Israel and gets along with Netanyahu, which does influence his supporters to also be pro-Israel, which then leads to the left to being anti-Israel because Trump is pro-Israel.
But there's also been a growing undercurrent of anti-Semitism from the left, which preceded Trump's Presidency. Its roots were in the left's sudden love for Muslims (dating back to shortly after 9/11). The more the left ties its identity to fighting supposed Islamophobia, the more they grow to hate Israel, which they believe oppresses Muslims just as they believe the US does. Since Israel and Judaism are so closely tied together, this leads to growth of left wing anti-Semitism, which is hidden behind "I just don't like the Israeli government" rhetoric.
The fact that Rashida Talib and Ilhan Omar -- two open anti-Semites -- are such heroes in the modern Democratic Party, speaks to how far anti-Semitism on the left has come in recent years. There are actually a number of left-wing Jews I knew who are alarmed by this, and feel somewhat betrayed, and it's been making some of them reconsider their political allegiance.
Do you believe it is not possible to dislike the Israeli Government while also not being an anti-semite?
I love Israel (the place), have visited, love the people. But I despise Netanyahu, despise Likud and despise his treatment of Muslims and Palestine. Am I an anti-semite?

Yes, it is possible to dislike the Israeli government without being an anti-Semite.
However, many have let that drive their anti-Semitism. Usually a good litmus test for this involves the BDS movement. If you dislike the current Israeli government, but don't support BDS, you're probably not an anti-Semite. If you do support BDS, you probably are. Similarly, if you like Rashida Talib or Ilhan Omar, you are either an anti-Semite or a delusional fool who willfully avoids seeing the obvious about them.

Trump loves people who are loyal to him, and Stephen Miller has been loyal since the beginning.
Beyond that, if Trump feels the person is loyal and mostly agrees with him, he overlooks the negatives that person brings. That's what's been going on with Miller.
Miller wouldn't have been my choice as an adviser, but the above is why he is there. That doesn't mean Trump and Miller are the same -- more that Trump is just happy enough with him to keep him around.
It's not all to different from how Obama refused to fire cabinet members who screwed up.
Can you dislike the Israeli government, the existence of Israel itself, the holocaust narrative, nefarious Jewish influence on American culture, media and government and not be an anti-Semite?

I feel this phobia against racist people of no color is unsettling.
What kind of hate site are you running here druff.
The explanation is that Trump is a racist who likes “Jews” because he greatly admires them for the negative stereotype that anti-Semites level at them, i.e. being crafty in business dealings. But he abhors the Jews who promote the Jewish ideals of human rights and treating one’s neighbors fairly that is founded in the teachings of the Old Testament and carried down through the generations by Talmudic teachings.
And his affinity for that type of “Jewishness” (as Trump sees it) motivates him to align himself with Zionists of all stripes, because as a racist, he equates the State of Israel with Jewishness. And some of those Israel-loving-without-question allies include the Evangelical Christians who will *publicly* express their believe in the prophecies of the Book of Revelation and the End Times destruction of Israel and the eternal damnation of non-converted Jews to Hell.
In before Druff rationalizes his president bullying a 16 year old girl on Twitter by blaming the left for exploiting her.

Hey Druff,
Please rationalize the fines Trump must pay for defrauding charities, I'm sure it's easily explained.
