I’ve had to do some serious internal examination the last year or so. This exchange reminds me that I’m not the first nor will I be the last.
I don’t consider myself antisemitic or racist. However, attacks against civilian populations, no matter who the attackers happen to be, are abhorrent to me.
The natural human is revulsed by that behavior, right?
Does hating Israeli genocide make me anti-Semitic?
Is hating US fascism anti-Orange?
Is hating Hamas attacks on Israeli music festivals anti-Palestinian?
Why the fuck is Ukraine still having to beg for EU support to push Putin back?
Why did I bring helium instead of air?
Which one of you kicked me?
"Does hating Israeli genocide make me anti-Semitic?" No. Not even a little bit.
The word Semitic means people from the Levantine area so it includes Lebanese, Jordanians and Palestinians. Unfortunately the Zionists have tried to change the meaning to be Jewish people. I think the work you looking for is anti-Zionist or anti-Israeli. We should be separating Judaism the religion from Israel the country as most Jewish people I know cannot stand what Israel is doing.
It does mean that, but arguing semantics instead of talking about the issues directly doesn't help anyone.
