They are "triggered" by the word anti-Semitism. It is a common 'trigger' for those on our side of the political spectrum too. Too many posts start with "Oh woe as me, I will be called an anti-Semite!" or "Anti-Semitism is overused and used incorrectly, let me explain to you what it really is!" (almost always coming from someone who isn't a Jew!). Anti-Semitism is the heel bar in the horseshoe of American politics of the extremes.
