As an aside, can other groups get a name too? AntiBlack, AntiWhite, AntiAsian .... what's their version of "semitism" in the vernacular? Why is only one group so special.

Back to a serious matter, one I take as seriously as they do in the halls of the United Nations and Woke Liberal campuses.....

https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail...

"Brussels

The spike of antisemitic incidents across Europe has reached extraordinary levels in the last few days, reminiscent of some of the darkest times in history. European Jews today are again living in fear."

Yep, no country or entity is perfect, everyone has a few slip ups.

Mind you, Europe - should stop lecturing America. On anything.

It's a pretty common formulation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Catholicism_in_...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Protestantism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti%E2%80%93Middle_...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Japanese_sentim...

...though obviously not universal. There are plenty of alternative formulations, like the "-phobia" suffix ("homophobia" or "Islamophobia") or the "mis-" prefix ("misogyny" or "misandry"). But the "anti-" prefix isn't just limited to anti-semitism.

So someone who is Anti Catholic is into Anti-Catholicism.

Why is someone who is Anti Jewish - - not Anti-Jewish instead of "ante Semitic"?

Just want to get it right. The AntiSemetic camp is growing, winning, and - - going full mainstream so I guess it's good to know the players.

In addition to Lapsody's link, the wiki entry also has a succinct explanation of the origins of the term:

As an under-appreciated aside, Palestinians are also Semites. The term is directed toward groups speaking Hebrew or Arabic and originally residing in western Asia. Antisemitism should strictly apply only to Jews who are of middle eastern origin.

Anti-semite, anti-semitic has been common the common term for quite a while.

Why do all these non-Jews seem to suddenly need to rename hatred for Jews wherever in the diaspora they may be?

It's just not fair the rest of us should get a cool sophisticated name too when we're being hated on.

Ok so the memetic thing is venerable - but then again, the F-word was at a time "swine" -- so things evolve.

Blacks, whites, Asians, midgets, all of us should get something more branded to be fair.

Either way, here's to great elite College Campuses, and halls of the United Nations and many other LEFTIST circles.


I'm just saying, as anti-Jewish bigotry - which we can't blame Leftists for - GOES MAINSTREAM WITH LESS SHAME, there should be a more household friendly word.

Maybe some ad agency.

Or have some cereal box contest.

I dunno, bring people together.

Ok, well there you go.

I've not visited Palestine, but do they or Hamas want to be grouped in with their Israeli Occupiers??????

So they should get a euphemism too. Let's see.....

Judging by COLLEGE CAMPUSES, AND THE LEFT.....Palestinians are our buddies.

hey, they are our PALS!!!

Ok I will leave it to others to rename "Anti Semitism"....

But the Palestinians, you are ANTI-PAL if you support Occupation. Anti-Pal, cause they are our Pals.

Damn. Where's the beef. Coke the real thing. Eat your heart out.
