What JPR is, is a site devoted to conspiracy theory, illogic and misogyny. It is completely regressive. It has the thinnest veneer of the kind of actual progressive politics that work as positive change agents. In fact could stand for the poster child of the regressive left. It's whole premise is based on hatred of one particular politician. there is nothing redeemable or admirable about its conception, its inception or its growth.
Anti-semitism is just as vile as any other biogtry, including homophobia and mysogyny. Words, singly or in paragraphs or a treatise for that matter, matter in their use and their intent. Words carry cultural freight. It is never a good policy to dismiss one many find offensive because it may not effect you personally over another that does.
Enjoy your new home.
