I think there might be something wrong with you if you don’t look at 99% of the accusations of antisemitism being levied at people who are like “don’t genocide Palestine” and see something wrong with that
Or like shit like jk Rowling (who wrote very antisemitic caricatures in her shitty books) calling Corbyn an antisemite. Actually I literally only ever see accusations of antisemitism when it’s being used by right wingers like her in bad faith, or zionist Jews conflating criticism of Israeli imperialism with it.
I think there has to be something very wrong with you if you think that dishonest accusations of antisemitism renders the concept meaningless. This is a garbage post, and if you genuinely think that antisemitism has ceased to be a factor because of people like Podhoretz then you are also a garbage person.
They’re pretty explicit in talking about the word, not the concept. Nobody here is saying antisemitism, the concept, doesn’t exist or isn’t important, but that the signifier less and less frequently refers to the actual concept of antisemitism.
I think you might just be arguing at cross purposes. Original post was borderline a purely linguistic observation, but you’re talking about the underlying phenomenon.
are you
