> 1. Israel's stated goal is to neuter Hamas and return the hostages, not kill civilians.
And yet so many dead civilians. It's almost like a genocial terrorist country like israel always lie. Also, I was referring to israel's genocide of the semites in palestine to found "israel" up to present day. You conveniently forgot about it.
> 2. Arabs speak a semitic language; the "semites" in "anti-semite" has always referred to Jews.
Arabs are ethnic semites who speak a semitic language. "Israelis" are non-semitic europeans pretending to be "jews". Ethnic europeans are not semites and can never be semites because they come from an entire separate branch of the human family tree.
> 3. Jews, including white Ashkenazi European Jews, are levantine in origin. Their lineage traces to Judea.
No they do not. Maybe a handful.
> 4. "Antisemitic" means anti-Jew.
No it does not because semite doesn't mean "jew". A semite and a jew are two different things.
> You are using it to mean anti-Arab, but arabs are not semites
No. I'm using semite to mean semite. Arabs surely are semites. Europeans are not though.
> 5. You did make all that up!
If arabs are not semites, then what are they? You say arabs are not semites and I'm the liar? I'm making shit up?
1. There aren't a lot of dead civilians given that this was a 2 year war fought in a built-up urban environment fought against a plainclothes terrorist enemy that violated every law of war, including using hospitals and schools as military bases.
2. Semites is not an ethnicity, it's a language family, sorry. When used colloquially it has always referred to Jews.
3. “Semitic” is a language group, not a racial caste. Jews—including Ashkenazi—have documented Middle Eastern ancestry, and about half of Israelis are Jews from the Middle East and North Africa. The idea that Israelis are “non-Semitic Europeans pretending to be Jews” is just antisemitic nonsense, not a serious factual claim.
4. See above. Semitic is a language family, not a people. "Anti-semite" as a term has always meant "anti-Jew."
5. Correct, Arabs are Arabian. You're not "making shit up" you're repeating evidence-free nonsense you want to be true without examining its validity.

It's amazing how similarly zionists/israelis and nazis rationalize.

"Semitic people or Semites is a term for an ethnic, cultural or racial group[2][3][4][5] associated with people of the Middle East and the Horn of Africa, including Akkadians (Assyrians and Babylonians), Arabs, Arameans, Canaanites (Ammonites, Edomites, Israelites, Moabites, Phoenicians, and Philistines) and Habesha peoples." --wiki

Germanic is a language group and an ethnic group. Using your logic, germans are not germanic peoples because germanic is a language group.
> Jews—including Ashkenazi—have documented Middle Eastern ancestry,
They have less documented middle eastern ancestry (none) than elizabeth warren has of native ancestry.
> The idea that Israelis are “non-Semitic Europeans pretending to be Jews” is just antisemitic nonsense, not a serious factual claim.
Considering that most "israelis" are ATHEISTS and most "israelis" are non-semitic and most "israelis" do not adhere to or respect the torah, it is a factual claim.
> 5. Correct, Arabs are Arabian. You're not "making shit up" you're repeating evidence-free nonsense you want to be true without examining its validity.
Why do you lie? People can literally google "semites" or "semitic peoples". If you lie about something like this, what are the odds you are lying about israel killing civilian semites in palestine?
