Are others going to label them as "anti-semitic Jews"? I feel like it would be ironic and ridiculous but I'm not that smart.

Wouldn't be the first time "self-hating Jew" has been used to shut down any kind of anti-Zionist critique. Bernie Sanders had his face shoved in that turd all through 2016. I remember hearing it tossed around since at least the Bush Era, when being against the Iraq War was framed as a form of anti-Semitism.

I've already seen it. I think the common term is "self-hating Jew".

"anti-Semitism" used to be a term with a lot of weight and serious connotations. Now, it's been misused and abused so often that the power it once had is gone.

If anyone who disagrees with the genocidal far right government of Israel is an anti-semite then, of course, the term will lose it's power to shame actual bigots. It should surprise nobody that actual anti-jewish bigots are coming out of the shadows.

I never understood why anti-Semitic was applied to Jews but not Arabs. Does anyone know why that is the case?

Given the end is an intended death can we turn the term "Suicide" into the term?

I was misquoted by an industry rag as one many years ago. I'm a huge fuckin Jew. People look for the negative

I've been labeled an anti-semetic Jew for speaking against Israel's government.

I heard them being called "self hating jews" or "traitors" think Dixie chick's during Iraq or MLK in the boondocks.
