Semites and anti-Semites, that is the question

[moghrabi]

There is much misunderstanding about the term "anti-Semitism" among Jews, Arabs, and European Christians. The term is bandied about as a description of attitudes deemed anti-Jewish, and on occasion anti-Arab, but much of its use is anachronistic and ahistorical. While Zionists and their supporters have been using the charge of anti-Semitism against any and all who oppose Israel and its policies, especially, although not exclusively, in the Arab World, Arabs have taken offense countering that they are "Semites" and therefore by definition cannot be "anti-Semitic". What are the merits of such arguments?

If I hated catholics would that not still make me a catholic hater even though I'm catholic?

Or if I hated Canada and all canadians then I'd still be anti-canadian even if I was canadian, no? (pssst, I don't hate groups of people based on this sort of generallization. I can't think of a group of anything I dislike...except maybe.......sardines. I don't like sardines. As a matter of fact I hate all sardines, whether I know/taste them in person or not.Kay, I'll admit it. I'm anti sardine Damnit!)

 

[Paranoid Dot Calm]

I'm an Anti-Sardine hater

 

[Twila]

So you dislike all anti-sardine people then?

I'm speechless....at least close to speechless. I'm almost speechless. Probably a more apt description of my current state. This doesn't happen to me often.

No!

I dislike sardines. In fact, I hate sardines .... just like you.
But, I hate myself for it. So, I'm an anti-sardine kinda' guy.

I'm a big loser when it came to sardines.

Well we certainly destroyed the seriousness of this thread in less then 30 mins!

I apologize for that (since I started it) but in my defense......it wasn't my fault.

It was the sardines. It's always their fault. Filthy pilchards!
