Being called anti-Semitic because you refuse to circumcise your children is like being called "racist" because you do not like "soul food". Accusing someone of racism or anti-Semitism without good reason is a form of school yard bullying.

Intactivism is only antisemitic if intactivists target Jews and ignore gentile/secular non-consensual genital cutting. Genital autonomy is a movement advocating for universal protection of rights for all children, regardless of sex characteristics or parents' religion/culture.
-
However, this does NOT mean that intactivist methods of activism cannot be antisemitic. But, the human rights position of genital autonomy is itself not antisemitic.
-
There ARE people who use intactivism as a tool or excuse for antisemitism, or misogyny for that matter, but while that reflects badly on the movement, and deserves swift rebuttal, protecting infants and children of all genders from unnecessary surgery isn't any of those things

Teeeechnically, circumcision itself is anti-semitic because it's permanent bodily harm that's culturally directed at people of Semitic lineage, which includes Jewish AND Arabic people...

I suppose there are some who might be against circumcision for reasons having to do with the Jewish tradition. But...seems many more are concerned with the human rights aspect to the issue and the unconvincing evidence that the procedure confers any substantial health benefit.
