I Just Found Out I'm an Anti-Semite


I was looking for something else and came across this:
Yes, Ranting Against ‘Globalism’ Is Anti-Semitic
Oops.

Her "authoritative" source is this, which offers opinion but no corroboration, and essentially concludes that if it's used by someone the author agrees with, it's OK, but if not, why that's hate.

But it seems we have us a meme.

Looks to me like just another way the hive-minded try to make people afraid to speak the truth.

It has been my understanding that both Jewish people and Arabic Muslims were Semitic peoples, as they share a common ancestor in Abraham. Am I wrong?

Found two "definitions" so Semite.

1.Descended from Shem, son of Abraham. Sue to difficulty of writing shemite in languages that had no equivalent to the "sh" in Hebrew, that was usually morphed into "semite". The wiki treated this meaning as "mythical."

2. Speaking one of the family of "semitic" languages. The article treated this one as the result of rather dubious scholarship.

So I'm guessing its kinda like "semi-automatic military-styled assault weapon: i.e. a completely made up term that means pretty much whatever the user wants it to mean, or on the other hand, nothing at all.

I'm still not clear on whether or not its safe to drink an artificially flavored juice style beverage or eat a pasteurized processed cheese style food.

That should tell you who the enemy is.

To find out who your enemy is, find out who you're not allowed to criticize.
