The word “antisemite” was first used in print in 1865. It was coined by Wilhelm Marr, a German journalist and politician who founded his own anti-Jewish party in 1879. IMO, the "antisemite" accusation is used to manipulate those who criticize zionists. Allows the zionist jews to play the victim card, and they do that every chance they get. As Shulamit Aloni, a former israeli minister, admits: "We always use the anti-Semitism trick or bring up the Holocaust".
Avner Falk, Anti-Semitism 2008, says "The German word 'antisemitisch' was first used in 1860 by the Austrian Jewish scholar Moritz Steinschneider (1816–1907) in the phrase 'antisemitische Vorurteile' (antisemitic prejudices). Steinschneider used this phrase to characterise the French philosopher Ernest Renan's false ideas about how 'Semitic races' were inferior to 'Aryan races'." More.
And the term “Zionism” was coined by Austrian writer, journalist, and Jewish nationalist Nathan Birnbaum in 1890. Just a couple of decades later.
Today criticizing the actions of the state of Israel often (and in some countries every time) results in one being labelled as “antisemitic.” This trend shuts down meaningful discussion and obscures important distinctions, particularly between political ideology and religious or ethnic identity. Which is not good for anyone, especially the Jews, IMO.
So, looking back, perhaps it was 1860 or 1865 when they came up with the term "antisemitism" to stop any criticism of this upcoming Jewish movement, "Zionism". They always plan ahead.
Yes but the United States of Israel wants to destroy the Middle East. You know, because of how moral it is. What, are you some kind of antisemite?
