I don't get it is it supposed to be anti-semitic

My interpretation is that Lucas made it out to be entirely the evil Sith destroying an otherwise reasonable galactic social order. When in reality, fascism happens with no magic required.

Not at all IMO, the Sith simply took advantage of the evil inherent in the system. That’s part of why the Jedi were so blind to it.
