Your logic here doesn't really make sense.

I'm sure the far-right accuses Jews of those, and many other things. But that (obviously) doesn't mean we can't be critical of those things.

And if you say that criticizing those things is being an antisemite, aren't you just implicitly endorsing the far-right theories you just denounced? I mean, we should be able to criticize mass immigration, or international trade agreements, globalism, etc. regardless of who supports those ideas, but especially if jews aren't even involved then what's the harm? (Note that jews being involved still would not change the fact that we should obviously be able to agree or disagree with, and criticize any political idea, policy, theory or ideology).

For me, criticizing globalism is not that different from criticizing imperialism, since (at least IMHO) globalism, and more specifically global governance, is a form of imperialism. One of the best-known critic of globalization is Noam Chomsky, who happens to be Jewish (but, again, that is completely incidental and not really relevant to what he thinks).
