    It’s an example of crying wolf and I guess we all know how that ended. Accusations of antisemitism have been used as a cudgel to silence critics for so long now that when I hear someone has been accused my first instinct is to dig into what they actually said because I’m automatically skeptical of the accusation.

    This kind of thing happened when Jeremy Corbyn was running in the last UK election. To this day, I’ve yet to read a single comment he has ever made that could be construed as antisemitic.
