and if the news item is about religious hate, then they have to explicitly call that out.

Would you say that about any other term regarding bigotry? Would you be willing to give up the word ‘homophobia’ if there were some sort of LGBT+ group that committed atrocities and claimed that homophobia is the same as disagreeing with them even if the news started doing it? I doubt it.

Israel wants you to think Israeli = Jew and Jew = Israeli and you are going along with it.

Why does this news article need to tell you what the banner said in the headline just because you have decided that the word ‘antisemitic’ means ‘criticism of Zionists?’

How about this one?

Does it need to list all the incidents in the headline? Because there’s more than one and it includes someone painting FUCK JEWS in huge green letters on the side of a building. I assume you don’t think that’s someone innocently protesting Israel. Am I wrong to assume that?

Here’s another example for you since you are claiming that the news has co-opted the word ‘antisemitism.’ Note these are all recent articles.

Tell me which one of these three details from the article is the one that belongs in the headline and how you would write that headline:

According to the district attorney’s office, Dion was allegedly linked to vandalism of Nazi symbols including swastikas, the Iron Cross, and “SS” occurring in late November at a synagogue, an evangelical Christian church, an IHOP, an apartment complex, a bridge, a newspaper stand, and more in Burbank and Glendale.

Los Angeles Police Department alone has recorded a 38% increase in anti-Jewish hate crimes from 2022 to 2023 in a year-to-date comparison. In the same time, LAPD has seen a nearly 57% increase in reported non-crime bias incidents.

On Dec. 9, a 75-year-old man and his wife were on their way to observe Shabbat at a synagogue during the Hanukkah holiday when they were attacked in Beverly Hills, according to the district attorney’s office.
