Is the word Anti Semitism used properly?

I want to discuss a problem which has longed troubled me on this subject.
In Israel there is a problem with how the holocaust is portrayed, how it's used and more importantly the bad habit of calling people Nazis and/or Anti Semitic without good reason in many cases.
This problem is also apparent in many Jewish organizations world wide especially in those based in the USA and I can't help but feel that things get blown out of proportion and end up causing what political correctness (or Prohibited criticism as I like to call it) mostly causes; increased racial animosity.
Internally I must admit that the holocaust has been so badly misused by some factions in our politics both in the left and in the right. Every time some one goes on a political strike it seems that the leader of the opposing faction is drawn up as Hitler, a terrorist, or both. And due to this respect for the memory of the holocaust is threatened and the same applies to external relations with other nations.
I can't help but feel that especially in Germany's case the holocaust is misused in current political events instead of the memory as it should be preserved as. I often wonder to myself how much animosity does the mention of the holocaust create and wonder what the long term consequences of this policy will be and what is our nation actually achieving by using the Holocaust in such a crude way. Often it seems to me as if the holocaust is used as an excuse for some of the more controversial military actions our government takes and while as an Israeli I back my government without hesitation in any conflict (which is admittedly part of the problem in the internal political situation of this country and guarantees that for the most part as long as there is a conflict on which is just about all the time no one really opposes the government) I can't help but feel the weaknesses behind some of our actions as a nation when the holocaust is mentioned; in fact the only time I remember when this was fully justified without a doubt was in our declaration of independence. While it?s the duty of this country to keep the memory of the Holocaust alive I think it is a crime to apply it to current political tensions and situations.

Other problems in the Israel behaves as a nation especially the media (especially the right related news papers) is our repeated use of the words "Nazi" and "Anti Semitic" the first word rarely is justified and I frankly see it as an insult to the memory of all who died under that regime and its war machine; Jewish, Russian, Belgian, Dutch, Italian, Slavic, Dane, Norwegian, Albanian, Greek, Polish, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Romanian, Czech, Slovakian, Bulgarian, British, Austrian and German. (Please forgive me if I forgot some one)
Commonly any one who makes criticism of Israeli government policy is immediately tagged as at least Anti Semitic if not a Nazi or Neo Nazi. People in Israel are also not immune from this; the right loves to call the entire peace minded left traitors (some are but very few) but this is less apparent then the treatment of foreigners especially if they are Germans.

There are quite a few people who deserve the term Anti Semitic and a small number of people who deserve the term Neo Nazi but I get the impression that both terms are simply over used.
One would think that this is a simple case of classical political name calling for the benefit of generating negativity among the voters for the exploitation of this or that political party but not only is our government guilty of this, the people are also guilty of misusing these words, Less so then the government but still very apparent. I have used the term incorrectly at least a number of times and even more so when I was younger and significantly more ignorant then I am now.

For example the G?nter Grass case not too long ago is a good example of this sort of behavior being blown out of proportion.
Yes he did write a poem which was wrong on quite a few points and generalized the entire population of Israel.
But the reaction of the Media here and the later reaction of the politicians were way out of proportion to the event.
Before the media storm the poem was actually being analyzed by people here and criticized in a civil and educated way but once the media hit the man was basically pictured to be a Nazi, Neo Nazi, Anti Semitic (which he might be) , Anti Israel and whatever at the same time. Yes there where many problems with the poem and the way it was written but the government treated him as if he was a war criminal and bared him from the country indefinitely. This isn't even an extreme case of reaction to criticism, it happens quite often but the worst part of that story is that the public went along with it for the most part. The media made such a "good" job of mixing in his Waffen-SS history that the public just assumed that he was another Jew hater. What our news papers (not sure about our left wing news papers on this topic) forgot to mention that he didn't join the SS but was drafted into the SS.

"He was not accepted by the Navy and instead was drafted into the 10th SS Panzer Division Frundsberg."
"At that point of the war, youths could be conscripted into the Waffen-SS instead of the regular Armed Forces (Wehrmacht), although Grass' division functioned like a regular Panzer division".

((sorce wikipeida))
It's this kind of manipulation of information by the media and its disgusting use by politicians that disturbs me and I am interested in learning of other peoples opinions on this matter.
