This essay dives deep into Israel's weaponization of the "antisemitism accusation." I examine its philosophical underpinnings, its use for counterinsurgency, its consequences, and its background. In tracing this history, I look at the roots of Judaism, antisemitism, and Zionism writ large, and show the emergence of Zionism within the racist epistemologies of the 19th century. I also examine how this racism has persisted and reared its head with contemporary population genetics and biotech like #23andme. By deconstructing (with counsel from evolutionary biologists) the scientific fallacies undergirding the understanding of "Jewish" as a race, I offer a different, radically inclusive definition of "Jew." Finally, I respond to some of the problems in PhilosophyTube's popular video https://youtu.be/KAFbpWVO-ow.
