    I think there has to be something very wrong with you if you think that dishonest accusations of antisemitism renders the concept meaningless. This is a garbage post, and if you genuinely think that antisemitism has ceased to be a factor because of people like Podhoretz then you are also a garbage person.

      The word "antisemitism" has lost all meaning.

      They're pretty explicit in talking about the word, not the concept. Nobody here is saying antisemitism, the concept, doesn't exist or isn't important, but that the signifier less and less frequently refers to the actual concept of antisemitism.

      I think you might just be arguing at cross purposes. Original post was borderline a purely linguistic observation, but you're talking about the underlying phenomenon.
