The Overuse of Anti-Semitism and Political Correctness as Tools of Censure

The overuse of anti-Semitism and political correctness as tools of censure has undermined their original purposes, transforming them into instruments of suppression rather than empowerment. This shift has diluted their meaning, eroded trust, and contributed to societal polarization. By recognizing the shared Semitic heritage of Arabs and Jews and reframing discussions to focus on genuine instances of prejudice, society can restore the credibility of these concepts. A recommitment to thoughtful and authentic usage ensures they serve their original purpose: fostering justice, inclusivity, and understanding.
