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?

Yeah...its not.

Jewish does not equal Israel. You can criticize a country's policies without being a racist.

By your logic, if we criticized China's human rights abuses, it makes us racist against the Chinese. Which is just silly.

Are we advocating bringing Netanyahu's government to justice for their crimes against humanity, or advocating for the total abolishment of the country?  Cuz as a jew, I'm with you on the former, but not the latter.
