Stella has the right of it there. I am not saying that using the term anti-semetic is wrong, just that using it in the wrong context is. If someone says something blatantly anti-semetic, or blantantly anti-American, such as, "Jews are dumb" or "Americans are stupid" etc, then clearly the term would be accurate. However, criticizing Israel and America don't fall under those circumstances. It just tends to take a lot of credit out of someone's arguement when terms like that are used excessively in situations when it doesn't seem accurate.
