No, no, a thousand times no, every critic of Israel is not antisemitic. Some are, though, and use anti-Zionism as a shield to hide their anti-Semitism behind. Many just have a problem with Israel's policies like they would with any one of a number of other countries.

"To your 2nd bit, do you really see that injustices in other countries must be introduced in every discussion about racial injustice in the USA?"

No, but it also depends on who's having the discussion, too. Just within the US, for example, a bunch of MAGA rednecks would probably have different opinions about racial injustice here than would a bunch of subscribers to the Metropolitan Opera. Here's an interesting bit:

The Racial Equality list isn't surprising, and surely you'll notice Israel just barely ahead of (behind) the US. However, interesting also to note, #8 on the Most Racist Country list.

Do these lists have any credibility? Who freakin' knows.

Oppression based on race or ethnicity does not always automatically equal apartheid. Was the Jim Crow era in America apartheid? Just as the casual use of the word, "Nazi", lessens the impact of the actual genocidal German Nazis, so does the wanton use of the word "apartheid" lessen the impact of actual apartheid. Words have meanings and consequences.
