I often mention them when I’m making the point that claims that others are being anti-semitic when they criticize Israel because Israel represents the actual Jewish People (rather than just some people who are Jews plus a whole lot more people who are not) are the thing which is anti-semitic, since claiming that Israel represents the Jewish People denies the very clear and very explicitly voiced statements from a whole branch of the Jewish Religion about Israel not representing them.

Sure, Israel represents many people who are Jews, what it clear (in the face of not only this but also other Jewish groups such as for example Jewish Voices For Peace) is that it does not represent the Jewish People as a whole and if it does not represent the Jewish People as a whole then criticizing Israel is not criticizing the Jewish People and hence is not anti-semitism.
