If you can’t explain your points without using antisemitic dogwhistles I don’t know what to tell you, man.

I never said otherwise, man.

There’s literally tons of ways to describe the same thing without turning to antisemitic dogwhistles.

Sure, but those ways aren’t common and rooted in the community they belong to/are referencing, and its not necessarily anti-semitic just because it is associated with a Hebrew word, just like it wouldn’t be anti-german to call it “UnterSlop”.

If you can’t think of them, and need to reach for the word that’s clearly rooted in racism, maybe that says something about you.

I never said these people or the culture they dwell in were the pinnacle of humanity we should all aspire to be like. Just that instantly dismissing them and all they say as anti-semitic 1) isn’t necessarily true and 2) doesn’t help, just further isolates them and isolation is a recruitment grounds for real and dangerous anti-semitic/racist/fascist communities.

Look at this from an outside perspective.

Hypothetically, he isn’t anti-semitic, what is the result of your words? Are they constructive and intended to help them grow and learn not to repeat the incident or are they dismissive and self serving, to make yourself feel better/superior? What’s the best/worst outcome in this scenario?

Okay

Hypothetically, he is anti-semitic, will your words change that? Was he about to recruit others to the anti-semitic cause until you chimed in? In this case, what is helped?
