People who believe and reproduce antisemitic tropes while thinking they are not antisemitic
So anyone disagreeing with Israels Zionist regime & criticising war crimes, land theft & genocide are all antisemites?
No. But if in order to do so they resort to antisemitic tropes then yes. For example holocaust minimizers, or people who think Zionists control their country.
For decades, the world has grieved the holocaust & sympathised with Jews. Right now, I grieve for Palestinians who who rightfully fear being bombed to death, losing their children, their homes & their country. I hav no sympathy for someone who cares more about offensive words than genocidal actions.
And it needs to be restated - Palestinians are Semites too so the motivation of those decrying Israel’s behaviour cannot be anti- semitism. It’s starting to look as though the term anti- semitism is a diversionary tactic to deflect the conversation from the reality that anti-Zionism is the correct
There's no such thing as "Semites". "Semitic" is a term for a group of languages, not people.
The dictionary is descriptive, not prescriptive, which has the unfortunate effect of including the inventions of bigots and racists in its list of words.
NARRATOR: It did not need to be restated
That's not how language works. Do you also think pro-lifers are people who can't take antibiotics?
"How dare you call me a homophobe! I'm not AFRAID of gay people, I just hate them!"
Zionists do control the country though? Trump is a zionist, Mike Johnson is a zionist, Joe biden was a zionist. Congress keeps voting to send more weapons to Israel for a genocide, I feel like that makes them in any practical measure zionist?
Zionists do control things in this country, and most of them are Christians.
