    When media outlets and “advocacy organizations” lump violent attacks and Palestinian liberation chants together as “antisemitism”, it creates an inflated sense of danger. It even makes people go out of their way to always mention the dangers faced by Jewish people even though the salient issue right now is islamophobia and Palestinian liberation against a genocide.

    Consider also that we operate in a propaganda regime that conflates Jewishness and Zionism and where drawing attention to Zionist victimhood plays an important propaganda role for justifying settler colonialism, apartheid, and genocide for Zionists, such as the loser with a Zionist flag behind them in the post.

    Also to nitpick, etymology isn’t semantics - antisemitism means anti-Jewish even though there are other semitic peoples.
