I’m not hear to talk about Palestine, Hezbollah, or Iran. I mean in general, objectively, it’s getting thrown around so much, for reasons that do not seem antisemetic in nature.

That and many other terms like it have gone through a lot of concept creep. People just keep stretching the label to include more and more things, which makes it lose its clear definition. That then incentivizes fights where one person uses the loose version and the other sticks to the strict one, so we can’t even agree on what’s going on in the world anymore.
There’s a whole list of terms like that. They’ve been so mis- and overused that the moment I see someone using them unironically, my eyes just glaze over and all I hear is “Booo! I don’t like this.”
