Antisemitism? What about it?

Lately there's a lot to do about antisemitism. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services have even published a document on their website in the section News Releases called DHS to Begin Screening Aliens' Social Media Activity for Antisemitism.

I came across this information when I was watching a video by the YouTube channel Redacted. I made a video of that part, which you find here:

But, as Natalie Morris was saying, the understanding of the word Antisemitism has been changed.

Nowadays, caused by the interpretation of the word by the state of Israel, it has to mean any activity in opposition against the state of Israel and in support of Palestine or of Gaza.

But support of Palestinian people is not automatically opposition of Jewish people! Support of Palestine is not automatically opposition of the State of Israel.

Wanting the war, the killing of innocent people - men, women and children, to stop is not the same as wanting something negative happen to citizens of the state of Israel.

The word Antisemitism has been hijacked by leaders of Israel to stop criticism, any criticism, of their activities in Gaza and the West Bank.

Most people would link the word Antisemitism with the so called Holocaust, during the WW2 period.

But is that realistic?

What does the word Antisemitism actually mean?

Let's have a look!

To know what the words Antisemitic and Antisemitism mean, we need to understand what the word Semitic means and where it has its origin.

As you can easily see, the root of the word is 'Sem', which relates to the name Shem.

Shem was one of the three sons of Noach, who inherited the earth after the flood destroyed it. He and his brothers had descendants, and among the descendants of Shem was Abraham. So, although there are many more people in current days who descent from Shem and would because of that be Semitic peoples, for sure all peoples descending from Abraham are Semitic.

Now, to be precise, this means that not only Jewish people are Semitic, but also the descendants of the other tribes of biblical Israel. Not just one tribe, but all 12 were descending from Jacob, who descended from Isaac, who descended from Abraham.

But Abraham had children with more women than just Sarah. He started of with Hager, then Sarah and finished with Keturah.

This would mean that there are loads of people descending from Shem and thus Semitic. Most of these without even knowing themselves.

For sure the current Arabic peoples living in many Mid-eastern countries are Semitic!

If the Palestinian people are Arabic, then they are Semitic. But genetic research has shown that some 90% of them have Jewish roots. This would again make them Semitic.

Even if the Zionists in the State of Israel would be truly Jewish, which is questionable, truth is that they are killing, committing genocide, and displacing Semitic people. Which makes their own activities Antisemitic!

Now, isn't that narcissistic behavior?

Conclusion: Don't let people who are Antisemitic tell you that you are Antisemitic, when all you want is that they stop their activities, their war against their neighbours.
