The term "semite" has two definitions, one traditional and one modern. Palestinians are semitic according to both of them.

No but don't you understand? Criticizing the Israeli government for slaughtering Palestinians is anti-Semitic for... reasons.

Words change their meaning over time, in context, and with other words. When people say antisemitic nowadays, we know what they mean. No need to go all ackshyually

Yes, if they convince you good enough, then black would mean white, war would mean peace.

[–] Zannsolo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I mean that's how language works, if everybody started calling White, Black; Black would would have a new definition, see literally. That said fuck Israel, Jews are cool unless they support what Israel is doing. All religion is bad and used to justify terrible things but not all religious people are bad.

What is wrong with you? What are you, some kind of new-age hippy? Why are you using these new-fangled words like white, war, and peace? What ever happened to albus, bellum, and pax?

Actually I don't know at all what someone means when they say that anymore because for the last two years when the media or a public figure mentions antisemitism it is nearly always criticizing Zionism and Israel for their genocide.

But the word has ties to Nazi germany, it's more rhetoric than word.
