@serge The label antisemitism has recently been used to address topics that I'd not see as antisemitism like asking for a ceasefire in Gaza, like MSF , Oxfam and the UN do.

This inflationary use of the term means to me that the term looses its meaning to me.

When you say widespread antisemitism in the Fediverse, I personally have not seen a lot of antisemitic posts from the people I follow.

If you consider Oxfam and MSF as antisemitic, then I would say this term is politically used.

@serge @herdsoft The original poster is talking about real antisemitism. And there is a lot of it.

But then lots of accounts here also claim there’s no racism. Maybe listen to people on the other end.

@JamesRhodes @serge Your post is the only only answer to mine that is not just hatred without content.

I understand antisemitism as rejection of jews just because they are jews, not for what a concrete person has done.

I have seen enough antisemitism in my life. From my grandma, from friends, from pupils writing graffiti...

Yesterday evening when following new posts I mindfully scanned for antisemitism and I didn't even see a single post I'd consider antisemitic.

@JamesRhodes @serge There was a post about police violence against the students protesting in the U.S. I'm convinced there are severe antisemites among the protesters, but there are also jews protesting.

There was a post about Lily Greenberg Call resigning because she sees the way the Biden administration treats the Gaza conflict as contributing to genocide. But she is a jew.

There was a post showing an image of thousands of people in Tel Aviv demonstrating against the Netanjahu government.2/x
