      Most Israeli are also not semitic. But “anti-semic” has now a separate meaning than “anti” “semic” nowadays

      To them “anti-Semitism” is a simulacrum of the original word stripped of its meaning that they hide behind to not answer criticism.

        Precisely.

        Criticizing the Apartheid state ≠ criticizing the teachings of Moses.

        Criticizing the Zionists ≠ criticizing Jews or Judaism.

        Netenyahoo told reporters that our colleges are full of anti-Semitic students…like, those are our best and brightest, if my “friend” talked shit like that about my kid? Oh fuck no.

        If a wayward nuke took out Jerusalem, id protest sending Israel aid. What aid has Israel ever given us? We sail out of Bahrain and fly out of Germany. Israel wasn’t there for Desert Shield /Storm/Iraqi boogaloo or Afghanistan. We don’t owe Israel shit, they owe us.
