They were called anti-Semitic because they wouldn't shake hands, or they wouldn't shake hands because they were called anti-Semitic? The article isn't terribly clear on the order of events here.

To be fair, being called anti-semitic by a bunch of hate filled genocidal Nazis isn't really the worst thing in the world. It's kind of like Samuel Little calling somebody a misogynistic bully.

To be even more fair, it's culture washing as the Palestinians are a semitic people, and the Israeli player called the Irish players anti-Semitic because of their well known support of the Palestinian people.
