Subject: RE: BS: New Israeli atrocity: attack on Gaza aid
Claiming someone is anti-semitic, in the purely racist way that it was coined, when they are critical of the actions of the government of Israel (as are many Jewish people both wirhin the state and internationally) is also a misuse of the term

Continual and deliberate use of it incorrectly may, in itself, be proof of an attempt to discredit such critics and their protests by the user.
