"Anti-Semitism" is a red herring. Actual Anti-Semitism just means opposition to organized Jewish power. This is what the term originally meant.
The boogeyman known as "Anti-Semitism" is characterized as an irrational hatred of all Jews, with a corresponding belief that every single Jewish man, woman and child deserves to be killed. There isn't one other issue where detractors are held to this ridiculous standard.
Imagine if you could not be anti-Catholic without being in favor of KILLING every Catholic man woman and child? Imagine if you couldn't be against pollution without being in favor of killing every single man, woman and child who has ever littered?
This is a strawman argument and it's designed to make it so that no rational, normal, moral person can oppose ORGANIZED Jewish power and influence. Jewishness is not simply a genetic categorization. It is an identity—with associated political, religious, ethnic, economic, cultural, racial and tribal loyalties and agendas.
If such an organized loyalty-group can exist, then it is perfectly legitimate for some people who are not members of that group to criticize the influence of that group or be opposed to it.
Jewish power is an element in politics. Opposing it has been traditionally called "Anti-Semitism"—even by self-described opponents of it. They called themselves "Anti-Semites." To now classify this belief as some monstrous point of view that must necessarily condone, for instance, the mass murder of Jewish children, is pure gaslighting and emotional manipulation.
I am an Anti-Semite. I'm opposed to Jewish power in American life. I think it's a harmful and destructive influence. I have rational, moral reasons for opposing it and these reasons are legitimate. I will not be gaslit into saying I therefore must be in favor of random violence against Jewish people. I also will not be gaslit into renouncing my Anti-Semitic viewpoint, just because some people want to strawman my sane, moral and rational viewpoint into some kind of monstrous caricature.
