Antisemitic is one of those words that has just completely lost its meaning.

I can't think of any other marginalized group in progressive spaces where it's deemed acceptable for outsiders to define and diminish the oppression faced by the group itself. While I agree that the term 'antisemitism' has at times been misused to unjustly defend Israel, for non-Jews to completely dismiss the term—especially in the way I've seen repeatedly on this forum and in progressive spaces long before the current conflict—is deeply problematic. This is even more concerning at a time when contemporary antisemitism is at an all-time high.
