If by “Semite” you mean “Semitic language speaking” then yes. But “Semite” isn’t actually a term that’s used, it’s an invalid racial categorization. “Anti-semitic” in standard and common language specifically refers to bigotry against Jews
(As are all other Arabs, as well as Ethiopians and more)
Yeah, but does etymology really mean anything any more? I don’t know when, how, or why antisemitic came to be used for Jews only, but that’s what it means now.
also… just a wording thing…
the Jewish people themselves are anti-semitic for their genocide [emphasis mine]
That’s exactly the sort of discussion the OP is trying to prevent.
Just want to point this out, but Palestinians are technically Semites.
I’m against both obviously, but I thought it was important to point out that the Jewish people themselves are anti-semitic for their genocide.
Just worth pointing out: the Israeli government are anti-Semitic. Many Jewish people (especially outside of Israel) are opposed to this genocide.
Hey Israel, you just got pwned.
