Pseudo-technical Terminology
Rhetoric and pseudo-technical jargon is a good cover for folly.
It were better for logical debate for English people to use English terminology.
We can be anti-Israel; anti-Judaism: anti-Jewish; anti-Semite; and all in degrees.
In the case of anti-Semitism, a large range of peoples can be included in that term, besides Jews.
I am not in favour of Israel or Palestine, but I am in favour of Palestine-Israel.
I am not anti-Judaism, but I am anti-bigotry of all kinds including that within Judaism.
I am not anti-Jewish as a race, since race is a valuable element of culture.
I am not anti-Semitic since that would irrationally condemn a multiplicity of peoples, cultures, and ethics.
