    Honestly, Zionists have abused the term “antisemitism” to such an extent, its mention immediately brings suspicion (and if need be, further examination) rather than any level of presumptuous belief nowadays on my end- and I imagine that’s the case for most sensible people nowadays as well.

      Agreed. I take antisemitism seriously, so it really annoys me how modern Zionists have trivialized the term to mean any opposition to the neocolonization of Palestine. Upon seeing or hearing that term my defenses should go up, like I’m hearing a fire alarm, but when Zionists abuse the term it feels more like kids repeatedly misusing an emergency hotline.

        Part of the point, right? Zionists themselves are some of the most antisemitic people on the planet, claiming Jews simply naturally cannot exist with gentiles because they’re built different, because Jews can never be accepted by the rest of the world, so they should all emigrate (or be forcefully relocated) to the Colony.

        It works in the antisemitic Zionist’s favor if the meaning of antisemitism is obscured to beyond the point of nonsense. Everything is antisemitism but genuine antisemitism.

        (I believe I’m aware of most of this because of you, anbol, thanks for your amazing work again.)
