Misnomer issues aside, what the term anti-Semitism really implies is that its ‘sufferer’ is plagued by some irrational, if not pathological hatred towards Jews, mainly on racist or religious grounds.

In fact, most ivory tower professors are far more concerned with their six figure salaries and tenure than they are with the inconvenient truth. The Protocols are like Holocaust Denial – both threaten livelihood and professional status by getting too near the Mothers of All Lies.
