Your first comment on this thread seems to generalize the OP. In what case the labeling is correct?
Former Israeli Minister of Education says calling critics "anti-Semitic" is a trick they always use.

Here's my first post, in it's entirety, for your convenience.
All that post says is that labels are beginning to lose their power because they are being used so often. That's it.
Read into it whatever you want, but that's on you.
Here is your post:
>>Like the call of "racist", the label "anti-Semitic" is quickly beginning to lose it's power. If >>used often enough, and in situations where it is obviously misused, it begins to harm the >>label-er, not the label-ee.
That's what you did: you used the OP concerning Jews and anti-semitism and then you extended the instance of "anti-semitism" accusations to another type of accusations - "racism" ( and that's Generalization ), and then you drew your wrong conclusion that since labels in general ( any instances of labeling one can think of, not just "racism" and "anti-semitism") are used often therefore their validity is questionable. And this is fallacious conclusion.
If you mean something else you don't explain yourself well then.

Ok so, because you have an agenda on this, you intrinsically read into my commentary something you don't like - even though I didn't say it. I see.
There's obviously no point discussing this with you - as you can carry out both sides of the conversation on your own. Feel free to tell me what I said after the debate is over, I'd be curious to hear it.
I'll go look some up. In the meantime, perhaps you can read some books on the English language, with emphasis on reading comprehension.
After you read some books on formal logic you understand yourself even better.

And after you read some on English and Reading Comprehension, you will understand me better as well.
