I probably am wasting my time...

Almost. Over the years I have found it almost impossible to have a rationale discussion with a rabid anti-Semite. About 15 years ago, a close relative of mine married a Palestinian Christian. He was a committed anti-Semite and within several months my relative, who teaches at the university level and for whom I have (or had) enormous respect, was spouting the same garbage. I remember arguing with her about whether or not the Holocaust actually occurred. I finally gave up and ceased arguing. There was no purpose in continuing the dialogue.

She finally got divorced and remarried. I assume that she either changed or modified her views, though I have never asked.

On the other hand, there is something to be said for documenting their errors. Good luck.
