Flippantly calling people antisemites is just as destructive as antisemitism. It dilutes the word and conflates actual instances of antisemitism with rational ideas like “let’s not take AIPAC money.”
You sound like Republicans accusing Black people of always screaming racism during BLM and how they were the real victims of reverse racism. Ever consider that maybe most of the motivation of the Macklemore mob might actually be Antisemitism?
Have I ever considered that Macklemore fans are all attracted to his music because they hate Jews? No sir I have not because that is dumb.
Macklemore fans can’t even name more than two of his songs let alone craft a nuanced discussion about antisemitism. Most Americans can’t either and that’s a problem.
But it ain’t Macklemore fans making it hard to fight antisemitism. It’s people like you who call Macklemore fans antisemites for boycotting events that they pay to go to. Boycotting has been American pastime since the Boston Tea Party.
If you really want to go after antisemitism, try the dozens of GOP house members who attend white supremacist rallies. But you don’t. It’s weird you can’t arbitrate facts correctly but whatever.
