I’m not hear to talk about Palestine, Hezbollah, or Iran. I mean in general, objectively, it’s getting thrown around so much, for reasons that do not seem antisemetic in nature.

    It lost its meaning when a bunch of Europeans claimed “semitic language” meant the same as “semitic ethnicity”.

    It’s a Middle Eastern ethnic group, older even than the term Caucasian.

    A bunch of European saying it’s antisemitic to call them out for committing genocide against actual semitic people never made any sense. Except to make people numb to actual antisemitism , like people are now.

    It’s damn near the same as trump’s:

    I’m not a puppet, you’re the puppet!

    The far right all over live to blame people for what they’re actually doing so people go numb to it.
