Sam, So sorry, you should have informed your Jewish friends, that if they wanted the charge of 'anti-Semite' to sting, perhaps they should have reserved it's use to only real anti-Semites committing real anti-Semitic words/actions, and not to water down the dog-whistle by over-blowing it in run of the mill political discussions ... most likely to cover the fact their political arguments had run out of steam.

For instance, when Matt Gaetz goes off on Soros, this is not necessarily an anti-Semitic thing; When someone decries 'globalism'; globalism certainly isn't an anti-Semitic thing ... So now, you're screaming anti-Semites, yet many of your would-be allies are quite worn-out by the never ending blowing of that same ol' dog-whistle ... yet again. Sadly with over-use it has lost it's meaning.
