So Joel, how would you say that you oppose Zionism but are against anti semitism? A reminder that Palestinians are Semites.

Incorrect. Nobody is a "Semite", unless you believe discredited race theories. But that's not what "antisemitism" means.
Yes, that is what it has come to mean, and I understand the the word Semite is a term no longer used by those who speak of such things. I also think that the Palestinians are being killed en masse because of their racial identity.
A reminder that the coined term antisemitism specifically is about hate of Jews.
True. Why is that? So we can kill Palestinians with impunity? They are the ones whose land was invaded. I guess hatred against them doesn't count.
You do realize that the term antisemitism predates Zionism by decades, correct? And that it was coined by antisemitic academics in Germany who wanted a more genteel, academic-sounding term to use instead of "Judenhass" ("Jew hate"), not by Jews looking for a way to silence you?
Is this just trolling, or are you this dense?
Dense. Also Israel is committing genocide.
The word "antisemitism" came FROM antisemites defining Jews as "semites" from without.
