Why Do People Say "Antisemitism and Racism"?

First off, the term anti-semitism is stupid. "Racism" or "Bigotry" covers it all. No need for one group to have special rights over the other; sounds racist. Also, 90% of Semites are Arab.

No one will answer this. Nowhere.

I never gave a shit about this, but as an American who does believe in free speech, I've seen a majority of my fellow countrymen become pussies when it comes to this shit. And when some bitch throws the, "You can't say this or think that", it only made me curious, and then I did look into The Palestinian movement (and the Irish movement, and solidarity between the two -- I was born Catholic, but I religion and that shit plays no part in anything) and saw how most "woke" (comatose) idiots go silent on human rights issues when it comes to Palestine. Trendy Justice Whoriors. This is a business. If you want to get paid the big bucks in any industry, you whore yourself out, or you can be a fucking man.

Anti-Semitism = Jews
Islamophobia = Muslims
Racism = race (not religion-based)

Bigotry is a broad term. But, if you want to be more specific, the above terms are useful. One could say "bigotry against Jewish people" which is long. Anti-Semitism is quick and specific.

Special rights? Yes, that's the goal of racism, Anti-Semitism, etc.. The privileged group receives rights in which the marginalized don't have. Ex. Jim Crow laws.

Hate speech is not free speech. Hate speech is used to reinforce the status quo re: bigotry.

I agree with you 100% about the Palestinian people. An oppressed group should not oppress another group. And oppession should not be tolerated by anyone.

None for Christians yet?

Hate speech IS free speech. You can hate anyone or anything (although hate is a strong word but dislike is its lesser cousin). What's not free speech is violent speech (cause injury or death).

Yeah, how dare Palestinians oppress the Israeli's by firing so many rockets at them. Good thing for the Iron Dome eh?

Hate for Christians is just jealousy, no need for a slur.

Hate speech begets violence. Ex. China virus term incited hatred and violence against Asian-Americans. Trump was repeatedly asked to stop using the term before it incited violence. He refused. Attacks began shortly afterwards.

Israeli soldiers are violent towards Palestinians, too. What are your "peaceful" suggestions for Palestinian empowerment and land?

It doesn't seem to bother you that Christians had to flee the region. Comlare the population decline in the last few decades. Jews, Muslims, Christians and other religions used to share that region. No more.

How dare the Palestinians fire rockets that kill few and do little damage while Israel uses heavy weapons on civilians that do heavy damage and kill many?

Especially while Israeli settlers steal Palestinian land?

Good thing all the major human rights groups recognize Israel as an apartheid, eh?

I told you so! This was in my feed when I went clicked on Youtube. God works in mysterious ways. He wanted me to guide you to the truth about Christian persecution by the Israeli government. They can't worship!

American Christians are supporting the persecution of Christians in Palestine!!!!

The correct answer to an accusation of antisemitism is to simply to make them prove they are Semitic.

Imagine being so fragile of a people, and so scared of criticism you need to make up a slur to hide behind.

One cannot prove anti-Semitism to an anti-Semite.
