The overuse of the term "antisemite" has led to an overreaction that refuses to acknowledge actual antisemitism.
In the lexicon of worst things to be called in the second half of the 20th century, surely “antisemite” is at the top of the list (perhaps tied with “racist”). After the evils of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust were revealed to the world, no rational person wanted to be associated with that word. That’s a good thing, obviously. Hostility and hatred toward a people is a sin and must be rejected.
