Why is criticizm of Israel considered Anti-semitism?

[DogOnPorch]

Antisemite...not Semite.

[G Huxley]

Anti is simply a prefix meaning opposed.

Antisemite means opposed to semites, which includes both Jews and Arabs.

Anti is simply a prefix meaning opposed.

Antisemite means opposed to semites, which includes both Jews and Arabs.

Again, only an antisemite would WANT to change to word as defined in Webster's Dictionary.

[G Huxley]

That's absurd and doubly absurd when you use the definition of the author of (the Victory of Germanism over Judaism) as your authority on the term.

He invented the word...so yeah. Marr's definition is what counts....and Webster's Dictionary agrees with me.

[G Huxley]

I just showed that he didn't invent the word. People had already been using the terms Anti and Semite well before him.

Marr indeed coined the word 'antisemite'.

The Palestinian Cause was started by an antisemite...one of the most rabid.

Let's take another example.

The word Turkic covers a broad family as does the word Semite.

If one were Anti-Turkic one would be opposed to all members of the Turkic language family.

[G Huxley]

How could he have been the first to coin the word antisemite.

When the prefix anti already existed and the prefix Semite already existed?

That's insane.

[G Huxley]

Am I thus the first to coin the term antiplumber?

How about anticomputer?

AntiZebras?

Antizebraic?

Antielephant?

Antimazatec?

AntiSouthAmerican?

AntiMicronesian?

He did...sorry to burst your zio-bubble.

[G Huxley]

Well if he did you will rightly claim me as the coiner of the words

AntiZebras

Antizebraic

Antielephant

Antimazatec

AntiSouthAmerican

AntiMicronesian

And now I am thus the sole authority on all things Zebra, Zebraic, Elephant, Mazatec, South American and Micronesian even in death!

In fact now that I am the sole authority on all things Zebra and Zebraic I forbid Zedonks to be recognized as Zebra. Am I now antizebraic how about antizedonk?

Now I will be called racist against Zebroids!

Now I will coin the word antidogonporch. Now I get to define what a dogonporch is for the rest of eternity.

Wilhelm Marr

Known as the father of modern antisemitism, Wilhelm Marr led the fight to overturn Jewish emancipation in Germany.

Born in 1819, Marr entered politics as a democratic revolutionary who favored the emancipation of all oppressed groups, including Jews. However, when he became embittered about the failure of the 1848-49 German Revolution to democratize Germany, and about his own rapidly declining political fortunes, he turned his venom against the Jews. His essay “Der Weg zum Siege des Germanenthums uber das Judenthum. (The Way to Victory of Germanicism over Judaism”) reached its 12th edition in 1879.

[G Huxley]

Yes your hero.

"Again, only an antisemite would WANT to change to word"

Only an antisemite would deny that Arabs are Semites!

Only an antisemite like Marr would not include Arabs as Semites in the term.

[G Huxley]

According to myself the coiner of the word antidogonporch, Dogonporch is an antisemite, so it must be true!

Because I coined the term antizedonk, Zedonks, no longer had a Zebra as parent in fact, only other equids.

This thread is permanently locked because it has been reduced to baiting and nonsense that only brings down the quality of discussion.

I thought it would be better to create a new thread for this specific topic. Trolls, ranters, idiots, partisans and the ilk need not participate.

Good idea!

Everybody is free to open the 2nd act of this discussion. Call it Why is criticizm of Israel considered Anti-semitism? - Take 2 if you will. I recommend that any subsequent Opening Poster defines his terms.
