I would only be an anti-Semite if you define Semitism as holding as a cultural birthright what the India-Indians call "the left-hand path." An endless, insidious low-voltage grift which dovetails precisely with the us-versus-them mentality that prevents assimilation. Imagine my surprise after years of guessing at the shape of Israel-US relations and having the Mearshimer and Walt paper published (IN GREAT BRITAIN!!!) last year.
The media tweaking and manipulation -- would that also be part of the definition of Semitism? I have no issues with either Jewish culture nor lobbying. But when lobbying is too successful and involves an insular (Cicero's quote was 'their tendency to act as a clique') group -- hmm. Bad news for the host organism.
So, what is Semitism to you?
