Okay but I notice that I still don’t have an actual definition for what antisemitism is.
I guess as a starting point for figuring out what exactly we’re talking about I would first ask whether in Hume terms antisemitism is an “is”, an “ought”, or as you say a “spherical cow” which includes both?
Antisemitism [...] is hostility to, prejudice towards, or discrimination against Jews.
we’re talking about either emotions (hostility to) or actions (discrimination against).
If I take this definition, there are no “is” statements which are themselves antisemitic. Antisemitism is either a feeling or an action. Is that in line with your personal definition?
