1/ The politicization of #Antisemitism is one of the most dangerous things that can happen to the Jewish community. In recent years it has been used as a club by both the left and right to smear others with whom they disagree. I'm not sure which side is more guilty of it.
2/ So I wanted to make this thread to go through some of the major problems this has created for the #Jewish community. First, throwing around the word #antisemitism has watered down the word. Maybe you didn't mean for this to happen, but it seems it has.

We just commemorated #HolocaustRemembranceDay and now everyone is talking about the moron with the Nazi flag at the #OttawaConvoy. So many people have claimed to stand against #antisemitism -- For those people I post probably the most important thread on Holocaust Education.

A thread about why antisemitism is justified, accepted or just 'not a big deal' to many of those who claim to be anti-racists or to fight for equality: I have been an active member of my local Jewish community since my late teens working to fight hate/antisemitism. /1
I also do a lot of work with government professionally & have met many high-profile politicians from the right to the left, often specifically to discuss Jewish community issues such as antisemitism.
When I attend these meetings I bring with me statistics about hate-crimes. /2
