What a perfect Catch-22! A bunch of Jews can call you anti-semitic, and if
you say "Hey, a bunch of Jews are wrongly calling me anti-semitic," you're
thereby anti-semitic.
IMHO, classifying people by something they're opposed to, is pretty bad
reasoning. There are many ways to dislike Jewish religion or culture, and
to imply that they're all evil is either flippant or pretty damn arrogant.
We might just as well talk about anti-Arabs, a "concept" which would
associate neo-Nazis with a lot of Jews.
