“Grifting” isn’t antisemitic. It’s an old English word related to graft. An example would be Henry Arms, or Inland Arms, grabbing an name from decades past, leaving people to incorrectly associate one with the other.
Same for the refugees of WWII who left Europe and established the new so called “Israel”. It was a masterstroke of marketing, but it’s less than honest.
Please do not call people “antisemitic” for using a word with a negative connotation in reference to them. Modern Israelis, and yes, even ancient Jews are capable of generosity, magnificence, heroism, kindness, compassion, and wisdom. Likewise, they are also quite capable of greed, treachery, cowardice, coldness, and downright ignorance.
That game doesn’t work anymore, that speaking of Israel in anything other than glowing terms being cast as antisemitism.
THAT is also a nifty grift, designed to silence all criticism.

Had they named the nation they founded Zion, the Democratic republic of Palestine, etc. It would never occur to people that they were any more special than anyone else.

They are GODS chosen People and they get the benifets, AND the Judgments as such, and the same Judge that judges them will judge you and me.
