equation Explanation: See the additional context in the discussion box. I agree with Michael, but this term is repeated often, so I think it needs to be as concise as possible. |

conjured-up equivalencies Explanation: As discussed in prior chapters, I view the linguistic determination (realization) of respective, conjured-up equivalencies, together with conflated attributions, as an ever-present form factor of antisemitism directed at Israel, mitigated though it may be. |

conflation Explanation: "Critics of the concept argue that it conflates political anti-Zionism and criticism of the Israeli government with racism..." "...the collective rights of the Jewish people, but he criticized Forster and Epstein for conflating it with anti-Israel bias." "...people within the anti-globalization movement have conflated their legitimate concerns "with this idea that Jews run the world and globalization is the fault of Jews."" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_antisemitism -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2020-06-25 16:34:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Limitless examples out there where 'conflation' is the common choice for Israel/anti-semitic correlations: "All over the world, it is an alarming time to be Jewish – but conflating anti-Zionism with Jew-hatred is a tragic mistake." https://www.theguardian.com/news/2019/mar/07/debunking-myth-... |

creating equivalencies Explanation: I think the author is talking about certain actors perpetrating false equivalencies to support dubious arguments. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2020-06-25 14:26:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Compare with this: "In “The Human Use of Human Beings”, Norbert Weiner counseled against creating equivalencies between human and computerized activities. When we do, he warned, the human will always lose. A computer can always do better at anything that’s been defined as a computational task." https://medium.com/@jeffsussna/google-and-the-subtle-usurpat... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2020-06-25 19:37:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here's my working translation for your full sentence: "As laid out in previous chapters, it appears that the linguistic expression of such equivalence creation - because of the projective attributions that go hand in hand with it - reflects the current anti-semitism targeting Israel and its attempts at deflection. Compare with this: "..with this step of equivalence creation Orbán placed his struggle against the EU in the frame of a broader European conflict." https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/23745118.2019.15... |
