    The state of israel is already doing more than enough to "remove the air from the sails of the word “antisemitism”.

    Antisemitism is real and a real threat and it deserves a term that reflects the level of horror that it has inflicted. Minimizing the horrors of the holocaust against the jews does nothing to combat the holocaust israel is conducting. You can’t draw attention to a genocide by minimizing a different genocide. That’s not how horror at human barbary works.

    No one is happy that israel is abusing the term antisemitism but the solution is to point that out. Or just laugh at israel when they make obviously untrue claims, as most people do.
