[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Palestinians are semites as well and the best and most forceful way to protect them in this country is to use the laws already on the books to prosecute  for anti-semitism anyone who attacks them.

So, the hate mongers in Congress who went after Rashida Tlaib: anti-semitic hate crime; the VT shooter: anti-semitic hate crime

This Florida state senator who said all Palestinians should be killed: anti-semitic hate crime: [url]https://www.wfla.com/news/florida/florida-lawmaker-says-kill-all-of-them-in-response-to-palestinian-deaths-spa[/url][/quote]

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. [/quote]

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 [b]anti-Islamophobic[/b] (she identifies as an Islamic person) conduct while serving in Congress, often at the hands of her colleagues in the House.[/quote]

This is redundant.   :roll:  The PP was correct.  "Anti-Semitic" refers to anti-Jewish.  Islamophobia refers to to anti-Muslim.  [/quote]

You don't have authority to dictate that, or frankly anything else. Moreover, you don't understand etymology at all, so save your opinions.[/quote]

OMG.  "Anti-Islamophobic" is INDEED redundant.  It's a double-negative.  Learn grammar.  [/quote]

Phobia means fear or aversion to - not necessarily against it or opposed to it. That's where the "anti-" in anti-semitic comes in.

Tlaib's colleagues and critics are both fearful of her and viciously opposed to her.

So yeah, you're wrong - again.[/quote]

I can't even... do you know what Islamophobic means?  It means fear or hatred of Muslims.  So, what do you think [b]ANTI-[/b]Islamophobic (the word you made up) means, genius?  It means AGAINST people who hate Muslims.  The word you are so desperately grasping for is simply "Islamophobic."  Which, btw, is not the same as anti-Semitic.

Do continue conflating the two terms and see what kind of reactions you get in the real world.   :roll:  :roll: [/quote]
