I'll just repeat my comment from the related thread, Follow Up: Israeli Government Officials Stand Up For HR McMaster…

I doubt McMaster is anti Israel, certainly not anti semitic, but clearly pro Palestinian and supportive of the Obama Iran deal. Presumably these positions fit with the President's views. He was the one who made the decision. Like the Embassy move. Can't blame his advisors.
As to the headline, I consider it bogus. No Israeli officials are quoted. Other than an anonymous statement to Ha'aertz. For those not familiar with Ha'aertz, it's a paper far to the left of the New York Times or the Washington Post. If you are on board with anonymous leaks to the NYT or WP, then you should be on board with Ha'aertz. And should ignore radical Zionists like Caroline Glick.
My personal opinion, no question McMaster is a patriot, probably left wing politically. But if he's the President's man, that's that. At the end of the day the decisions don't belong to McMaster.
