Isn't pro-palestine pro-semitism? They are a semitic people, after all. I'm just sick of being called a racist by Israel for calling out their genocide.

Yeah the logic I keep finding is people/entities saying that anti-Semitism is commonly used for people being against Jewish people, so it isn't antisemetism to do acts against other semites. Which is rediculous. It is like saying targeted attacks on Asian Americans isn't racist, because in America racist was a common used term against African Americans.

Note, this is the logic Grok used as well when I asked it how mass killings and deportations of semites in Gaza wasn't antisemetic.
