Arabs are Semites, and you have just as much disdain for them as you claim others have for Jewish people. You desperately need self-awareness.

Personal attack, and people who do wordplay with “Semite” in trying to confuse the meaning of antisemitism reveal their underlying resentment toward Jews. It’s a gaslighting technique.

My resentment is to HAMAS terrorists, and the people who elect them. Are YOU an antisemitic Arab yourself?

You have taken the position of: "Israel, right or wrong".

That is an uncaring, non-humanist, insular viewpoint, and does nothing to help humanity work together, no matter what the religion, race or nationality is.

Your insistent anti-Palestinian viewpoints makes you as racist as you are accusing others of being. You just can't accept that being opposed to what Israel is doing has nothing to do with being anti-Jewish, and everything to do with blindly supporting human rights violations and violence against a people.

Sort of like pogroms, but in reverse.

No, it reveals that I know the meaning of the word Semite. I know the word is mostly used in the context of European/Jewish interactions, so using it in the context of an Arab/Jewish conflict is quite disingenuous.

OK, now that you’ve called me inhumane and uncaring, simply because I won’t side with the Hamas-led Palestinians, I’m done. I’m sure there will be other pro-Israel posters around later that you can insult.

I linked to the definition twice. What you’re doing is classic gaslighting, and quite revealing.

I’m not anti-Jewish. You’re anti-Arab.


Is this how arguing with you works?

A quick reminder to you: you are promoting a myth.

The nationality or ethnic group is not defined by the state. You are trying to claim that they do not exist as a people, yet there they are. They are more true to their ancient origins than most modern nationalities can claim. That their attempts to become self-governing in their own modern state have been frustrated is not an indication that they do not exist as a people.

Kurds are another example. These people exist. You can not pretend they don't for your convenience.
What myth? You are the one promoting a myth. The 'Palestinian' nationality as folks refer to today was coined by Yasser Arafat after the six days' war. The term 'Palestinian' wasn't used between 1947 and 1967.


The Kurds have been called the Kurds for hundreds of years.
