It actually is, if you understand antisemitism.

ROTFL !!!
How do you know you "understand" anti-semitism?
Just from reading books? This sounds like your
traditional Teutonic pedantry.

„No one should feel obliged to seek out “the
Jewish perspective” before forming an opinion
on recent events.

The article I linked to is not exclusively about
recent events. We heard such things for centuries,
if not millennia.

As a rule, I reject the kind of standpoint theory
that says one has to defer to individuals belonging
to a particular group on a given issue. Politics must
not devolve into some insipid game of “Ask a Jew!”,
or any other particular group.“

As a rule, you always reject anything that does not
align with your pre-conceived notions about things,
and you read all kinds of implications between lines
that just aren't there. No one suggested "deferring"
to anyone about anything. At the same time, if one
wants to understand other people and their problems
one can do a lot worse than trying to learn about
those individuals and about the groups they belong
to. Your notions about Jewish matters are totally
cartoonish.
You may not have noticed it, but for a Zionazi
krautkopf like you to lecture others about Jewish
matters and about Zionism and anti-semitism is as
anti-semitic as can be imagined.
Cheers!
