It's often not realised that the term "Anti-Semitism" was originally coined by antisemites, who wanted to insist that they weren't opposed to *Jews*, but to "Semitism" or "Jewish ideology". It's a well-trodden fake distinction.

When right-wing figures say they’re opposing “the trans agenda” or “trans ideology,” they're attempting to portray their efforts as targeting a *political program* when in reality they’re targeting trans people themselves, and pushing for their full exclusion from public life.

I know what I and my family lived through, yet they insist on goy-splaining things to me 🤦🏻♂️
But I am very confident in explaining Judenhass and not putting up with any bullshit regarding that. I guess it’s because I am still in my baby phase. *sigh*
But i like the idea you're putting forth here, that you're not against the people known as Semites, you're against their ideology. Which brings it all simply and neatly back to religion.
And please not yet another "phobia" which isn't an actual phobia.
There’s a lot going on under the sociolinguistic hood.
Thank you Dr C🥂💜
