Accusing anyone who criticizes you of antisemitism just devalues the term. Which is really fucking stupid because there is a modern rise in anti semitism, but it goes way further back than the current genocide in Gaza and most (not all but most) of the antisemitism is tangential or unrelated to Israel.
