    Bad take.

    1. Antisemitism is not anti-zionism in any way. One is the dislike of Jewish people and the other is a dislike of a certain sector of people, who need not be Jewish at all. In fact, most zionists are Christian. But I know that you already know that.
    2. Semites are literally Palestinian people, not Israelis.

      “certain sector of people”

      Hmmmm… which sector of people would that be? Oh I’m sure you believe there’s “some good ones” when you think about Jews.

      Semites are literally Palestinian people, not Israelis.

      So you don’t even recognize Jews exist now? You’ve erased the entire Jewish identity from your mind in your rationalizations of how you’re not antisemitic? That’s really disturbing.

        The sector that supports active genocide of Palestinian people.

        Once again…most zionists are Christian. I honestly believe that you know exactly what I am saying and are trying to twist my words into something else that would fit your narrative using semantics.

        And yes, I have absolutely erased Jewish identity, in my own mind. I am Hitler, in my own mind and I am trying to detach from the guilt I feel, in my own mind. Congrats. You figured me out!

        You win a prize!

          How do you feel about the “sector of people” that supports the genocide of Jews? Sectors like Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and the Ayatollah of Iran. Whoops, scratch that last one!

            Guess what. I’m against that too! I just think genocide is not the best thing. It’s not really that hard to understand. 🤷

              Are you against the genocide that Hamas committed on October 7, or do you deny that it was a genocide?

                Of course, I am against violence in all cases. It was, by definition, not at all a genocide in any way. It was terrorism.

                  It was a massacre of every Jew they could find and couldn’t carry back to their dungeons. Why do you deny that it was genocide?

                  It seems you’re very selective about what you label a genocide. What criteria do you use?

                    Nope, by the definition, it was absolutely 100% NOT genocide.

                    What are YOUR feelings and thoughts about the real, actual genocide of Palestinians in Gaza/West Bank that has been ongoing for several decades?

        It’s the sector of people that want to colonize Palestine, genocide the natives and create an ethnostate. That sector of people.

            This isn’t a cryptic mystery here. This isn’t anti semitic. Are you saying all Jews are zionists

              What? No, I’m actually saying the exact opposite. I’m the one who informed spacecowboy that most zionists are Christian.

              WTF is going on here. Lol
