    he still seems to have kept his job at (checks notes) an antisemitism group.

    to be clear, this is a group for prevention of antisemitism and not a group who aims to be antisemitic, right?

          innocent jews still exist.

          Absolutely, and I’d say even the majority. Sadly, the non-innocent ones have just devalued the definition of antisemitism so harshly that it cannot be used anymore without the assumption of bad connotation. I would recommend coming up with a new, more specific term that can’t be used as a genocide shield.

            Indeed, and the word doesn’t fit anyway. Arabs are a semetic peoples. Bigotry takes many forms, but idk if hating a country’s actions would fit into any of them in an honest definition. It’s not xenophobia to oppose the actions of a government, I don’t know what type of bigotry would even be close.

            Because opposing official actions of a country, is not bigotry. Opposing the actions of a people, is not bigotry under any reasonable definition unless you are opposing it because of whom they are.
