Is a truly dangerous precedent as you point out.

It also however does a massive disservice to genuine antisemitism.

In the present, not just UK climate but elsewhere in the World.
This careless accusations of antisemitism by anyone is, in my view, and should be wholly unacceptable.
Shocking.
Quite right, it makes light of anti-semitism and it gives actual anti-semites a weapon in which to devalue any accusations against them.

If someone have grounds to make such an accusation, then do so but if they throw the label around to try to shame people into silence then they turn their cause into a joke.
