Why is it only anti-semitic when someone criticizes an Israeli, whereas MENA is entirely semitic? Technically calling an Arab a goatfucker would be antisemitic too no?
I see Israelis using that kind of language toward Arabs all the time, wouldn’t that make them antisemitic by the literal definition?

semetic only means anything in linguisitcs just like arabic

same reason aryan was co-opted by germs to mean something completely different from its original definition

Isn't 90% of israel not semitic thoughever

Antisemitism as a word was coined by Germans as a more scientific way of saying “Jew hatred”, because Jews were the only semites in 19th century Germany at the time.
But yes Arabs have an unhinged hatred towards Jews, look at the polls. Also pay reparations for Jizya apartheid and the ethnic cleansing of Mizrachim

I read about that, but that just doesn't make sense to me because "slava ukraina" originated from neonazis but somehow we don't associate it with them anymore.
yet "antisemitism" is associated with anti-jewishm because some german did not like them in the 19th century

Why don't you shut your afghan ass up

>>213091502
that is very anti-semitic of you given I'm actually a semite. reported

>>213091563
Yes it's very clear
May you be beheaded swiftly

The Jews of the 20th century were clever word-gamers. They deliberately chose "anti-Semitic" because "anti-Jewish" was too on the nose and might make white people question why they specifically were being favored. All of their semantics benefit them by extension/association without directly announcing it. Much in the same way, they used the "black plight" to ram through tons of civil rights legislation to benefit themselves as well.

When Jews invented that word the only “semites” that were part of American and Western European society were Jews, so the word became synonymous with them.

likewise but hope it's a blunt machete

Lmao you’re acting as if there’s a huge conspiracy to keep using antisemitism as the definition of hatred towards Jews. The definition simply is defined that way because no other word has been proposed. “Jew hatred” doesn’t quite come off the tongue and also it can refer to Jews hating people as well

everything west of the red sea is not semitic unironically.

also the only argument of this thread is elementary pedantics hence i'm not bumping it.
