'We find this rhetorical tactic antithetical to Jewish values, which teach us to repair the world, question authority, and champion the oppressed over the oppressor.'
Well, the abuse of the cries of anti-semitism as a weapon against anybody who disagrees with the government of Israel (to the point that actual Jews have been accused of it) has generated a “the boy who cried wolf” effect around it.
Into the blindspot thus created the real anti-semites gladly went.
The only ones who gained from it were the fascists in Government in Israel - even the Jews in general lost, as was entirelly to be expected because historically the repeated and hypocrite abuse of an accusation for political ends always leads to it weakenning thus relaxing the pressure on those who really are deserving recipients of it.
Certainly not. Not being anti-semitic is a very low barrier to climb over, so it doesn’t really mean much.
Unfortunately, antisemitism is no more extinct than anti-black racism or many other prejudices.
It’s also very much on the raise again
