They use language to control thought, just like communists do. Wrap words with moral meaning, and attach negative moral connotations to certain words, and you can use that morality as a pinball bumper to direct the thoughts of a society by morally marking certain subjects or beliefs as "off limits," and thereby unthinkable.
This is not working with Jews anymore. The massive amount of power and influence they have over the US government is being noticed by more and more people, and the usual labels are not having the same emotional impact. More and more people are breaking out of the history they were taught in schools, and the moral bumpers Jews used to use to make people recoil from looking into their claims about the holocaust are loosing effectiveness.
Why?
The left's massive over use of the same sorts of morally charged language to police opposition to their actions.
The massive overuse of "racist" and the like have inured the dissident right to such things, and "anti-semite" is now reaching the same status, mostly because the ADL was just as active as the rest of the left when it came to charges of racism and sexism. Now everyone can see that these terms are really just the left loosing a debate over policy, so this is bleeding over to Jews as well.
