- aesh2Xa1 2y agoNo, there are two arguments. First is that I don't find this use to be sufficient evidence to go around claiming that the author is an anti-Semite. It seems more likely to be idiomatic than to be a dog whistle. Second is that I feel the word has divisive cultural baggage in our current culture.
