Given the shit they're counting as "antisemitism" it's surprising this number isn't higher.
They’re definitely turning into the boy who cried wolf here.
What scares me is that, people are going to stop paying attention and dismissing actual antisemitism and hate crimes.
Yeah I can't even look at that word without asking myself 'well whose definition are you using?' It's alreay a deflated term, too much more and it will mean about as much as the word 'woke' does these days.
Israel is probably more concerned with moving it's ethnic cleansing of Gaza/West Bank forward than protecting Jewish people in the USA.
Hell, the Islraeli government doesn't seem too concerned about protecting Jewish folks in Israel.
Turning into?
yeah. Used to be way less likely people would actually notice. You could sneak in a "maybe we shouldn't be so blind to what's going on" kind of argument edgewise. now the ADL has trolls out on social media pushing their narrative. well. maybe it's not the ADL, per se.
It's akin to US politicians passing some draconian/authoritarian law "for the children" and then accusing anyone who speaks against it as someone who hates children, is a predator, or someone who supports child trafficking. Like them uttering their magic phrase suddenly makes any opposition indefensible.
