however, i think you might not be completely clear about what antisemitism is. basically, it is bashing jewish people. so "you are not allowed to say anything against the Jews/Jewry" is not actually antisemitism. it is a reaction to antisemitic behavior. its basically being decent.
to be clear, this: "you are not allowed to say anything against the Jews/Jewry" is not being enforced officially. It is just not polite to be antisemitic and everyone is just going for basic "decency".
