like one of the only (bullshit) arguments the Zionists have is that opposition to Israel equates to antisemitism (not true), but from what i understand, the “Semitic family” includes both Jews and Arabs, but i am potentially very wrong about this.

also i guess even if it is true, it’s not a very good “gotcha” since it misses the point and truth doesn’t matter to genocidal swine

    This is literally the type of argument I’d see in a boomer comic shared by a 60 year old deeply religious liberal gay Black man with bipolar disorder living in Tennessee. “Antisemitic” means “anti-Jewish”. That is how the word is used by most people, so that is what the word means.

    That aside, the Semitic languages also include several other languages, including a number of languages of Ethiopia and Eritrea.
