I don't care what side you are on. This is about to send a shock into the system. Kids are going to wake up and ask themselves, "why I am selling myself into decades of debt slavery for this?"

The word Semite is derived from the name Shem, the son of Noah. Abraham was a descendant of Shem. While there are varying groups who can be termed Semitic, antisemitism is specifically the hatred and persecution of Jews. “Antisemitism” came about (in its Germanic form) in the mid-nineteenth century. In 1860, an Austrian Jewish scholar, Moritz Steinschneider, introduced the term antisemitische vorurteile (anti-Semitic prejudices). He used the expression in a piece he wrote countering the ideas of French philosopher Ernest Renan, who claimed that the Semitic race was inferior to the Aryan race. The term antisemitism was made common by Wilhelm Marr, a German publicist and agitator. Unfortunately, his 1879 pamphlet, “The Way to Victory of Germanism over Judaism,” in which he used the term Antisemitismus, was very popular. That same year, Marr founded the League of Antisemites.

Here is some truth. I resent having this situation as part of American culture in fhe first place. It should not be our problem over here, and if you want to be aqn American or live or visit here it needs to be dropped, at our borders. This should not influence American domestic life.. They need to figure it out over there and anyone that feels so strongly about it needs to take it over there. I wish you would stoip fouling Americaq with yout ancient grudges. Both sides.

@gdavis2018 I wish you would develop one ounce of intellectual curiosity and edify yourself of the situation.

[@ramunebradfordtake2710]

I mean yea...and no. I don't think Netanyahu has the right to tell people what to say in a country he doesn't live or vote in. However as alies to the country at hand it was under obligation to help, I do think its strange that the GOP is so about helping Israelis since I thought they wanted to be isolationist. We all know what that is. There is no easy fix to this. Let me be clear Genocide is not the answer. I wish that Zionististik thought was not so prevalent within the Israeli and many of the US Jewish community here in the states but at the end of the day that something they have to fix their mindset out of that. Genocide is Genocide doesn't matter who's doing it.

I honestly don't understand what antisemitic means. Is it ugly remarks towards Jewish people 🤔? Because I'm thinking that is what it means, iscit not?

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

No. It is language against ANY semite. Israelis are a Semitic people. HOWEVER where they constantly lie by omission is that Palestinians, Syrians, Iranians, Saudis... ALL of the people of that region ARE semites. However, practicing a religion (even Judaism) does not inherently make one a member of that race of people, any more than it does people practicing Christianity.
