I don't advocate adventurism, but important to note that violence against jews is different than violence against Israeli state actors.

Just in case this meme is referencing the recent shooting of two Israeli Embassy workers. Again, I don't advocate adventurism, but it's important to recognize a distinction between violence directed at an ethnic group and violence directed at government officials.

People using the term anti semitic often fail to realize that the semitic people and culture not only contains Jews, but also levantine Arabs.

More importantly, it's used inappropriately when talking about violence towards/hatred of the vaaaaaaaast majority of Israelis because they're Europeans...

The people that should be hearing this won't accept it as truth. They actively deny the Eastern European heritage of ashkenazi Jews.

however, the name Semitic is a nazi invention that was originally directed towards Jews. part of their scientific racism.

it's kind of meaningless.

like Dwight claiming an Indian coworkers is Caucasian because he claims her people came from the Caucasus.

but yhea, if we step out of semantics, fuck Israel for this genocide and using the Jewish diaspora as shields.
