What Exactly Is Anti-Semitism?

This blog post was inspired by The New York Times' article referred to near the end of this post.

Here is an article explaining anti-semitism. "Written By:Michael Berenbaum
Anti-Semitism, hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious or racial group. The term anti-Semitism was coined in 1879 by the German agitator Wilhelm Marr to designate the anti-Jewish campaigns under way in central Europe at that time. Although the term now has wide currency, it is a misnomer, since it implies a discrimination against all Semites. Arabs and other peoples are also Semites, and yet they are not the targets of anti-Semitism as it is usually understood. The term is especially inappropriate as a label for the anti-Jewish prejudices, statements, or actions of Arabs or other Semites. Nazi anti-Semitism, which culminated in the Holocaust, had a racist dimension in that it targeted Jews because of their supposed biological characteristics—even those who had themselves converted to other religions or whose parents were converts. This variety of anti-Jewish racism dates only to the emergence of so-called “scientific racism” in the 19th century and is different in nature from earlier anti-Jewish prejudices."

 I disagree with part of above, namely, "Nazi anti-Semitism, which culminated in the Holocaust, had a racist dimension in that it targeted Jews because of their supposed biological characteristics--"
I would have preferred to read ...it targeted Jews, and others because of their ..."   As I stated in another blog post, the Holocaust does not belong to the Jews alone; many more millions other than Jews were killed as well.

As shown above, like 'Holocaust' so is 'Antisemitism' misused, both are not the sole property of the Zionists, who throw these terms around to squelch any just criticism of their inhuman actions against the Palestinian people.

Hostility:  "deep-seated usually mutual ill will"
Discrimination:  "prejudiced or prejudicial outlook, action, or treatment racial discrimination"

It is evident that to be critical of the State of Israel is not a form of discrimination, nor is it antisemitic, as is always claimed by the Zionists.  If it were not so, the State of Israel would be, by default, above international laws, laws that they ignore at present anyway with impunity.  No wonder that this state thinks and acts as if it is their God given right to add other peoples land to theirs, at will.

"Zionism, Jewish nationalist movement that has had as its goal the creation and support of a Jewish national state in Palestine, the ancient homeland of the Jews (Hebrew: Eretz Yisraʾel, “the Land of Israel”). Though Zionism originated in eastern and central Europe in the latter part of the 19th century, it is in many ways a continuation of the ancient attachment of the Jews and of the Jewish religion to the historical region of Palestine, where one of the hills of ancient Jerusalem was called Zion."

Here is an interesting article by Michelle Alexander,

Time to Break the Silence on Palestine

published by The New York Times Jan. 19, 2019; it took true courage to write such an article because 'antisemitic bombs'  will surely be employed to discredit not only the writer but also the message.

 Now let us take a look at the ancient map, shown below, and a modus operandi becomes evident.

Palestine during the Maccabean period.

When looking at the map closely, it becomes clear that the Jewish nation has a history of adding other peoples' land to the original Jewish state under Judas, and trying to eventually take all of the land from the Palestinians, settlement by settlement, appears to be nothing more than the same.

  1. This article is very much on point, and explains some of the reasons why the press under-reports the suffering of the Palestinians, at the hands of the Jewish state.

  2. Here is another example of how people and their ideas are suppressed by the German Government overcompensating for the wrongdoing of the past. We all know two wrongs do not create a right.

  6. One thing is for sure, criticizing the Israelis/Jewish state for their 'Apartheid' position, as it concerns the Palestinian People, is not antisemitism. Please take the time and read the article by following this link.

  7. Another good article from the ain't it the truth department. My question is, how can the US be considered a peace broker, when it is totally biased towards the Israeli/Jewish cause of winner takes all?
