@adamjlent I am afraid that antisemitism, like all hate crimes, is defined by the law. Of course if you claim to be subjected to antisemitism, then I should take that seriously, but that is not an objective statement of fact. I refer you to the ruling of the judge in Fraser vrs UCU. 1/
@adamjlent 'Subjective perception is not a statutory adjective'. It is a long read but worth the effort if you are seriously interested. 2/ judiciary.uk/wp-content/upl…
@adamjlent Finally, on a more philosophical point, antisemitism must have a meaning for both Jews and non-Jews, or otherwise how would you be able to convince non-Jews not to be antisemitic? Surely it must have a universal significance? /3
