    Exactly. People, all people, hate being labeled something they aren’t. By calling everything that isn’t 100% Pro-Israeli Genocide “Anti-Semitic”, you get people who have positive to neutral feelings about Jews slowly get more and more angry with the term and actually cause the antisemitism.

    There was a similar backlash in the US against gay/trans people. And black people. And everything. When you adopt a policy of 100% for or against, binary only, you leave your 99% ally behind along with your 0%-support enemy.
