I think you get too hung up on semantics. Actually you sound like a PC hawk. For example, you could read an article criticising the influence of jews on US politics. You'd probably encounter terms like "American Jews" or "American Jewish community", when in actuality the article is speaking about the Jewish lobby.
But feh, I really don't care about PC, and frankly whenever I hear the word anti-semitism, I feel a chuckle coming up my throat. ;)
If we would all open our eyes, we could see that anti-semitism ie. "irrational gentile hatred of jews" is not a problem in the present world. Rather a wholly other kind of anti-semitism is. (of a different semite group...guess who they could be)
Guess how hard I laugh when I hear Arabs being accused of anti-semitism. ;)
