    Yet Joe Biden has sent billions in funding that has resulted in the killing of tens of thousands of semitic women & children by a antisemitic genocidal regime. Wouldn’t that make the Biden/Harris administration more like Hitler than Trump?

      First of all, Nazis aren’t defined by killing or hating jews. It’s just an “other” that they define. It doesn’t matter what group they’re part of. For example, Nazis also targeted blacks, gays, trans, and other groups that weren’t part of the in-group. They just need an enemy. The enemy of Fascists is not jews by definition, and jews can be fascist.

      Second, Trump has more thoroughly supported the Zionists than Biden. He moved the embassy to Jerusalem, at Israel’s request despite the previous status-quo treating the city as neutral, and refusing to move the embassy there. He has also said Israel should “finish the job.”

      Third, I know you’re just trying to troll, but we generally use anti-semetic to refer to anti-jewish. I know the game you were trying to play because I know Arabic is also a semetic language. However, most don’t. Using that term to refer to Arabs/Muslims is misleading. Again, I know this was on purpose but I’m pointing it out for other readers who come across this. I recognize that it was by design and you won’t change, as nice as that would be.

        More specifically, “antisemitism” comes from the German Antisemitismus which was popularized as a more technical-sounding euphemism for Judenhass (Jew-hate). It never meant “antipathy towards Semitic-language speakers”.

        The people who proudly called themselves antisemites, and formed the Antisemiten-Liga (Antisemites League) did not target Arabs, Ethiopians, or other speakers of the Semitic language family; they targeted Jews.
