Antisemitism” came about (in its Germanic form) in the mid-nineteenth century. In 1860, an Austrian Jewish scholar, Moritz Steinschneider, introduced the term antisemitische vorurteile (anti-Semitic prejudices). He used the expression in a piece he wrote countering the ideas of French philosopher Ernest Renan, who claimed that the Semitic race was inferior to the Aryan race.
The term antisemitism was made common by Wilhelm Marr, a German publicist and agitator. Unfortunately, his 1879 pamphlet, “The Way to Victory of Germanism over Judaism,” in which he used the term Antisemitismus, was very popular. That same year, Marr founded the League of Antisemites.

The term “antisemitism” was first coined by a German, Wilhelm Marr in his pamphlet “The Victory of Jewry Over Germandom”. So it has always been about the hatred of Jews.
There’s no such a thing as “Semitic people”. Semitic is a group of languages. And just as you we don’t consider all those who speak a Romance language a “Romantic”, a person who speaks a Semitic language isn’t a “Semitic”. It’s not a race or an ethnicity. Fact is, antisemitism is hate of JEWS, it doesn’t include Arabs or Muslims at all. That argument is ignorant and it’s just mean to delegitimize antisemitism as a real threat. It meant to imply that it’s made up or hijacked by Jews. Something you do so well!
Now, I only replied because someone asked me to address this issue, but back to the ignore list together with your lies, ignorance and hate you go!
Shabbat Shalom!

Semitic is rooted in the Biblical name Shem, the son of Noah, who is traditionally thought of as the direct ancestor of the Jews and Arabs.Lexy wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2024 6:04 pm
Saying Death to Jews and America is a bit more than being disgusted.
These "protesters" are so passionate in their declarations. If they're not being paid by some left wing group, they should be making their way to Gaza and Iran to fight their "good fight", not disrupting normal people's lives.
Semitism originally included Arabs. Who made this change to it being for Jews only?
I don't agree with saying death to Jews. If you can show me where I have ever said/written anything like it, I'd very much appreciate it.
I believe that the USA still has chickens coming home to roost, and it's beginning to look like the world is finally realizing just wtf Israel is all about. Finally!
