As we’ve previously reported, organized Jewry’s efforts to “educate” the public about “antisemitism” have largely failed because, they contend, the very term “antisemitic” is problematic and confusing, which has caused them to attempt “rebranding” antisemitism under different monikers such as “Jew hate” and, most recently “anti- Jewish racism”: In the maelstrom and vitriol that followed the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s damning report into the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn last month, few noticed the near total omission in the response from the Jewish community of the very word the EHRC had just reported on: “Anti-Semitism.”
In a joint statement, the Board of Deputies and the Jewish Leadership Council said the report “disgraces those who attacked us for speaking out against anti-Jewish racism,” calling Jeremy Corbyn “a figurehead for old and new anti-Jewish attitudes.”
The Jewish Labour Movement said it had been warning of a “deepening casual culture of anti-Jewish racism” since 2015. The Holocaust Educational Trust said it confirmed “the depth of the endemic anti- Jewish racism in Labour.”
Labour Friends of Israel praised Keir Starmer for starting “to root out anti-Jewish racism.” Even Labour Against Antisemitism (LAAS) distanced itself from its own name, talking about the party’s “institutional anti-Jewish racism.”
Commentators soon picked up the baton. In his searing column, Jonathan Freedland of the Guardian began with “antisemitism” but ended up asking “why anti-Jewish racism might take root.”
Yet the change was already underway. In September, the Union of Jewish Students slammed universities for “failing to sufficiently protect their Jewish students from anti-Jewish racism, the oldest form of racial hatred.”
Later that month, the Antisemitism Policy Trust — which may now need renaming — said Microsoft’s chatterbot had “learned from its social media interactions to post anti-Jewish racism.”
Two weeks ago, it even seemed to have filtered through to the BBC, its news site saying Labour had “failed to stamp out anti-Jewish racism when Jeremy Corbyn was leader.” Goodbye old Jew hatred; hello new rebranded one.
Some may see this as odd, given all the fights it took to get here. For a start, there was the heave-ho over the infamous dash — aka The Battle of the Hyphen — when “anti-Semitism” faced off against “antisemitism.”
Then there was the scrap over “what anti-Semitism is,” with criticism of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition giving way to a slow acceptance across the UK.
Yet odd it is not, because the switch to “anti-Jewish racism” is neither natural evolution nor incidental lexicography, as evidenced in the Jewish Leadership Council (JLC)’s annual financial filings, published online last month.....

Those statistics, what fun -- ROFL! Well, dear jewsies, when you systematically dumb-down the public their cognititive skills ain't so hot anymore. I refer here to the tyrannical, scheming, troublemaking jews here, natch -- but their support is dismayingly wide among their tribesmen.
The article says it all just fine, but I compulsively add a few thoughts. Even if the Chosen were semites they'd be a tiny percentage of the total -- there are a billion Arabs. As a deadly pestilence on Arab populations through their free use of the US military and media, jews are the main true anti-Semites of all history.
We just saw on another page* how the Chosen wanted to be considered a religion when they see it as an advantage for themselves. Consider LICRA = the French "International League against Racism and Anti-Semitism", almost 100 years old. For some pretty tangy stuff just google are jews a race -- no quote marks.
So the Chosen are in a bind. What they're really talking about now -- what they've really always meant by "anti-semitism" -- is dislike or hatred of jews or opposition to jewish behavior e.g. their supremacism. But phrasing it thus would give the whole game away. Since Semites are a racial identification jews have been in effect avowing their raciality this whole time, albeit incorrectly.
They could of course just accept the fact that crime doesn't pay and start acting like what they claim to be -- merely another identity group in the diversity mosaic of life. But again, it would defeat their whole purpose.
