- "An open letter penned by two prominent French intellectuals, Michèle Cohen-Halimi and Francis Cohen, called into question the curious apostrophization of the word, “‘Jews,’”—a diacritical practice that, in previous cases, has yielded to dubious interpretive license, signaling that “figural” rather than “real” Jews were at issue."
Etymology
From apostrophize + -ation.
