So he was wrong ....

That doesn't solve the issue that this group defines "antisemitic" by using the term "antisemitic". You at least make an enfort to circumscribe it.

And while there are obvious antisemitic events in history, definining it in a modern context is quite tricky and usually strongly divided along the two main political camps in the US. To me BDS and critique of the State of Israel are plainly antisemitic but I know quite a few people who do not see it like that.
