    Back in the days an “Antisemite” was a person who doesn’t like jews. Today, an “Antisemite” is a person who jews don’t like.

      Couldn’t say it better. It is nowadays used to shut down other opinions, as no one wants to be named an Antisemit.

      I would just add some jews, as I am pretty sure a lot of Jews and people in Israel have a complete different view than their current government.

        I’ve started using “Zionist” these days, because there’s plenty of normal Jewish people who don’t support genocide, it’s the Zionists who are hell-bent on it.
