I don't have answers, but calling all people (Jews and Non-Jews) anti-Semites who don't agree with everything you say isn't fair and doesn't help (real anti-Semitism is hiding and thriving in the shadows of this inflationary use of the word anti-Semitism).

In my previous post I interpreted the word "searchinmyroots" used: "agenda", as referring to attitudes indicating anti-Semitism. People often suggest the term "anti-Semitism" is inappropriately used. While some may use it inappropriately, in my previous post I explained how "anti-Semitism" can accurately be detected.
For the reader's convenience I copy that here:
'How to test "views", or alleged-"criticism", against Israel for anti-Semitism?:
The allegations made are those typically devoid of objective evidence, and thus are not only unverified, but also unverifiable!'
Thus clearly nothing whatsoever to do with mis-labelling views of those (quoting from "BlueBird"):
"who don't agree with everything you say".
Quote:Blue Bird:
[...] There was a woman on I24 news who talked about her son being a hostage. She introduced him to the audience: he was a friendly, animal-loving boy, a musician, with many friends. The mother said she was sure the government would do the right thing and bring her son back. A few weeks later I heard that this boy was shot by the IDF. He and 2 other hostages had survived on the battlefield, waving a white flag and speaking Hebrew.
This appears to refer to the Hamas hostages:
Yotam Haim (age 28),
Alon Shamriz (age 26)
and Samer Talalka (age 24)
who attempted to be rescued by trying to surrender to, but were shot dead by, IDF soldiers, on December 15, 2023.
They appear to have done everything logical to identify themselves to the IDF.
Their deaths were a tragic mistake.
