Just stop. There’s no reason to make that argument except because you think it somehow proves Jews are exaggerating or whatever. Antisemitism means anti-Jewish. We have other words for attacks on Palestinians - Islamophobic, anti-arab, xenophobia. |
Contrary to what you believe, you don't have exclusive right to terms like anti-semitism, genocide, ethnic cleansing, and the like. Rashida Tlaib has been the victim of anti-Semitic (she is descended from Semitic people) and anti-Islamophobic (she identifies as an Islamic person) conduct while serving in Congress, often at the hands of her colleagues in the House. |
what exactly do you think you are proving with that statement? |
What on earth does the VT shooter have to do with this? He was a monster, of course - but where are you getting "anti-semitic hate crime"? |
This is redundant. The PP was correct. "Anti-Semitic" refers to anti-Jewish. Islamophobia refers to to anti-Muslim.
|
You don't have authority to dictate that, or frankly anything else. Moreover, you don't understand etymology at all, so save your opinions. |
I'm not attempting to "prove" anything. I'm simply applying appropriate language to a specific set of facts. |
Well, no. The colloquial usage of “anti-semitism” is “anti-Jewish.” What point are you trying to make? Do you want to argue that Jews are NOT Semites? |
I think they mean the Vermont shooter from Saturday. |
No, many Jews are descended from Semitic people, as well. All? Absolutely not. But you know that. |
Oh, gotcha. But again - not an "antisemite." |
OMG. "Anti-Islamophobic" is INDEED redundant. It's a double-negative. Learn grammar. |
Oh, so you think you’re making a clever point about Jews being white. How stupid. |
But if you redefine terms you sound uneducated. Even worse, if you just declare that terms have no meaning and they just convey the amount of passion of the speaker, then it is pointless to have a conversation with you. |
+1 If the PP actually says things like the bolded in public, there is no doubt she is being laughed at. |
