Oh, you are misunderstanding me. Antisemitism is a fine word in itself, what I’m arguing against is not the word antisemite itself. I am arguing against the pointless arguments over what the word means, the “what you really mean” or the “you are using the wrong word because technically it shouldn’t mean what people use it for” arguments.

And I also think it’s an okay argument to have, if society really has long-held conflicting beliefs over what a word means. Like the word “socialist”. It makes sense to argue over what that means. But trying to redefine “antisemite” as someone who hates Jews and Arabs as well is stupid, since in usage it was specifically used for people hating Jews.
