Only Semitic actually is used to reference all Middle Eastern people, not just Jews.

actually they do work with other organizations on that sort of thing. helps if you read up on a topic first.



people prefer to remain ignorant when it comes to jews... if they new the truth then they would have to accept their life is ****** and its not our fault... for them its easier to stay stupid and blame us then actually do something constructive with their lives...

no, this is the equivalent of

"you better look out CCP! You've scorned the goons the last time! There will be a PC Gamer article if we dont get our way, and ten ton hammer and other stuff that you should be scared of!"

I've seen the word legal (and its variants) used incorrectly more in the last 2 days on this board than I have all year I think

There are places in Detroit that are friendlier than these forums. You will not find much sympathy here. In fact, you just invited yourself to a whole host of criticism and trolling.

did you even bother to read the link?

Despite the use of the prefix anti-, the terms Semitic and anti-Semitic are not directly opposed to each other. Antisemitism refers specifically to prejudice against Jews alone and in general,[3][4] despite the fact that there are other speakers of Semitic languages (e.g. Arabs, Ethiopians, or Assyrians) and that not all Jews speak a Semitic language.
The term anti-Semitic has been used on occasion to include bigotry against other Semitic-language peoples such as Arabs, but such usage is not widely accepted.[5][6]
Both terms anti-Semitism and antisemitism are in common use. Some scholars favor the unhyphenated form antisemitism to avoid possible confusion involving whether the term refers specifically to Jews, or to Semitic-language speakers as a whole.[7][8][9][10] For example, Emil Fackenheim supported the unhyphenated spelling, in order to "dispel[] the notion that there is an entity 'Semitism' which 'anti-Semitism' opposes."[11]

Sorry, the whole world is actually using the word incorrectly. These things happen.

As a Jewish person myself I thoroughly concur with your reasoning.

I have just got off the phone with the Hebrew Hammer and the Jewish Justice League, and they assure me they will sending extremely poorly trained but well dressed assassins to the homes of all those involved in this travesty. We will also be making several hundred films concerning the issue.

It's a very intolerant community, but on the upside we do hate everybody equally.
