This is a fairly involved answer. And I will do little more than touch on it.
God referred to the nation of Israel as His people. God made a Covenant with Abraham that assured the nation of Israel a land solely for them. The borders were specifically given to Moses.
The nation of Israel clearly went through a period of time where they referred to themselves as a race of people. This is very clear considering how they treated those with mixed blood who worshiped the same God as the tribes of Israel. They were called Samaritans. They were typically half blood of Israel, but their race was impure in the eyes of the âtrueâ Jews (Israelites). All the Israelites of that time could trace their genealogy back to one of the sons of Jacob (Israel.)
It wouldnât be accurate to call them a religion, as many who are not descendants of any of the tribes of Israel call themselves Jews (by religion.)
All who encountered the nation of Israel pragmatically recognized them as a country, whether that country wished to call them a country or not.
And all that is my take that barely scratches the surface.

Actually this ultimately falls to The Greatest Generation. Blame Harry Truman. Give us Boomers a break here.

I would if they would stop blindly cucking themselves to Israel.
I dont blame boomers for starting it, just continuing it.

So is an anti-semite someone who is against:
- those who live on the land
- the race of israelites
- the race of samaritans
- the religion
- decendents of tribes of israel
- the nation
?
My point is that if you take a term (Israel) and define it in the way you did, then you can be considered an antisemite for being against any of these things.
Which is a pretty extreme stance, IMO.
I do believe this was an intentional move by the powers that be.

To non-Boomers, anything bad that happens is the Boomerâs fault.
I absolutely despise that word. Idiots came up with that.
Semites are the descendants of Shem. All Jews are descendants of Shem. All Arabs are descendants of Shem.
You figure it out: Anti means against. Semite is a descendant of Shem.
It is nonsensical for an Arab to be an anti-Semite. Are you saying the Arab is against himself?
So, for the record, I donât recognize anti-Semite as a word worth me responding.
Anti-Semite needs to be erased from the dictionary.

I donât care who started it. I want to know why there wasnât at least one person with a triple digit IQ that would have stopped it by screaming something like: âDoes etymology mean absolutely nothing to you clowns!â

Weâve been trying. It dosenât work.
How you can say itâs propaganda? Evidence is quite overwhelming.
Edit. Not going to open that can of worms now.
And the J said: âGo and kill people over a region of sandâ?
Conserning what Iâve learned it does not. Words are twisted in new meanings all the time.
I think the science answers to the questions of âhow the world worksâ. Such as physics, dinosaurs or evolution.
Religion answers to moral questions, such as âhow people should liveâ or âwhatâs good and whatâs badâ. Such as empathy and humanity New Testament teaches.
But it all depends how literally one interpretes bible. Iâve read it twice, but I canât say that Iâm inherently religious person (agnostic at best), so my takes from it may vary to yours.
Do you believe every single report of any war of any side?
Do you not think there is propaganda on either side to gain support of anyone listening?
There is war going on between Israel and Hamas that was started on Oct 7th by Hamas
Hamas still has hostages
As brutal as war is, women and children will get injured and worse die
I donât buy into the propaganda that Israel is targeting women and children by starving and killing them
If you believe that then the Israeli Army would have destroyed the enemy immediately

And you have been there within the last two years to see first hand???
By whom???
Or course.
Nobody here seems to defend Hamas. Itâs an islamist terrorist organization.
I donât think Israels aim is to target women and children. They just donât care.
As someone who has followed the conflict for a long time and met people from there, I think itâs clear that Israelâs government doesnât count palestinians as citizens or as someone who has human rights.
So if 100 palestinian women and children die to bombs or starve do death for every Hamas fighter, itâs acceptable for Netanyahu & co.
Several different medias, UN and independent organizations have reported about this. Thereâs plenty of footage around.
Only one who denies it is Israel.
No, i canât say Iâve personally travelled to the front lines of an active warzone to verify whats being said by war reporters.
Have you been there to disprove it?
