Why are only attacks on Hews considered to be anti semitic?

In fact, the term was coined by the anti-Semites, not the Jews according to multiple sources including Britannica. In 1879, an anti-Jewish agitator named William Marr called his movement the Antisemites League to try to distinguish his secular anti-Semitism from the religious anti-Semitism of earlier periods. The name stuck and both sides started using it. So, no, it is not a Zionist thing. In fact, quite the opposite.

Anti-Semitism | History, Meaning, Facts, & Examples

Anti-Semitism is hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious or racial group. The term was coined in 1879 to designate contemporary anti-Jewish campaigns in central Europe. Nazi anti-Semitism, which culminated in the Holocaust, was an outgrowth of 19th-century ‘scientific racism.’

Thanks, wasn't aware of that specific background to the term.

I should have checked the history. But it should still include the Palestinians aling with Jews.

Such is iconic satire or maybe dissonant theory! Stimulating as a rise is indicated ...

Why change the meaning of a word that is more than a century old? It will just create more confusion in an already confusing mess of a situation. In fact, changing the definition to make Israeli Jews "anti-Semitic" for their treatment of Palestinians just opens a massive can of worms and probably plays right into the hands of the anti-semites. It solves nothing, just generates confusion and conflict.

What about words millennium old that have been submerged in dark space-time? Out there a gross BH?

In there somewhere a corner to light in ...allay a pyre?

We're fighting to stop a genocide. Slanders against our movements are a distraction. - JVP

As the largest anti-Zionist Jewish organization in the world, we unequivocally reject the conflation of antisemitism with anti-Zionism and reaffirm in the strongest terms that there is no place for antisemitism in our movements.

The argument could be made that part of the problem is the seeming inability of people to separate the two and recognize that criticism of Israel can, and should, be done without using anti-Semitic attacks on Jews. That picketing and vandalizing synagogues and calling for attacks, legal or otherwise, on Jewish businesses and organizations is anti-Semitism, pure and simple, not valid criticism of Israel.

And lets be honest, the rapes and murders committed by Hamas aren't helping the Palestinian cause much either. There's blood on too many hands on both sides at this point.

 

[jimkenney12]

The rapes have not been confirmed just as rapes by the IDF have not been confirmed. Also the Israeli forces mistakenly killed several Israelis including a family of 12 people in the confusion. The IDF took many hospital staff as prisoners and tortured them. There is blood on hands on many sides.

We are trying to talk about this in my Tuesday night group; it is not going well. Colonial mentality is difficult
