"do you not know that Jews are not the only semites" of course, Arabs are semites too , though it annoys me that some people deny Jews are semites, when genetics and our own heritige show otherwise, and no , not every criticism of Israel is anti semitism , but some of it is, there is no getting around that[QUOTE="Darkman2007"][QUOTE="TehFuneral"]
This statement naturally divides the subject, I am quite fed up with the same old excuse and the same card which is only naturally pulled up as "antisemitism". Are you denying that everyone else is not a class of mankind that also have claim to pity? Do you not know that Jews are not the only semites? Indeed, the word "antisemite" is only a bugbear, but as I purpose, taking a seperate view of the different ranks of society, and of the moral character of every race and group of people in this world, this hint is, for the present, sufficient; and I have only alluded to the subject.
Stop living only to amuse yourself. By the same law of humanity and nature, everyone else is as equal to be treated as the Jews to be treated.

I do not think anyone denys that Jews are semites, moreover, I think that the fact it is the obvious and pure attribution to them as semites that the word "antisemite" referers, nowadays, exclusivley to them.
It does on the other hand concern me deeply, when people refer to us as terrorists. I have often thought of it as one of the most barbarous customs in the world.
There is no getting around that, people in Germany are still being partially criticised and judged by their actions and compared to hitler it happens, whether the ignorant people know it is wrong or not.
I just find it quite annoying that whenever someone criticize israel for anything, someone would send out an outcry of "antisemitism" and declare it and obvious interference of hatred and partial prejudice.
trust me on this one, despite the words anti semitism , people question it, and its quite hilarious considering history, when Jews are not just a religion. on the other hand, if someone considers all Arabs as terrorists, I would say he is racist, simple as that, anybody with more then a hint of intelligence should know that. and like I said, not every criicism of Israel is Anti semetism (or anti Jewish , call it what you like),actually most of it isn't but you can't deny this racism does exist among some critics, and its not a tiny minority either.
