    If it was by a megaphone, that implies it was by a organizer which doesn’t look good. It’s already hard enough to not look anti-semitic while supporting Palestine without these events happening all around the world. (Plus synagogues getting threatened and so forth.)

        Of course the 19 day old account is jumping to conclusions. That’s what it was created for in the first place.

      Palestinians are semites too, how can supporting semites be anti-semitic?

        because your defintion of the word is wrong. Here is the worldwide accepted definition of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism

        Antisemitism (also spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism)[a] is hostility to, prejudice towards, or discrimination against Jews.[2][3][4] This sentiment is a form of racism,[5][6] and a person who harbours it is called an antisemite.

        and especially regarding your statement:

        Though ‘antisemitism’ could be construed as prejudice against people who speak other Semitic languages, this is not how the term is commonly used.

          The word is completely wrong, not his definition. Not all semites are Jews. The semites are a race of people that originate from the region of Palestine including Arabs. Arab is a Semitic language.

          If anything the Palestinians look a lot more like Semites than the Zionists from Europe.

          It’s like saying being anti-black would mean you hate Christians because some black people in Africa used to be Christian.

            Yes but when a dictionary does its job and is trustworthy then that is practically the same thing. And in this case it is very much right. Ask anyone what antisemitism means and they will mention Jewish people not people who speak semitic languages.

            Ok? Dictionaries are descriptive not proscriptive. That doesn’t mean that YOUR proscriptive view of a word is the correct one.

          Then they should use a different word, and stop hiding behind it to escape legitimate criticism.

        That sounds like one of those “I can’t be racist against African Americans since all of us are from Africa originally” lines.

        You know what is meant by the word and words are defined by usage not by origin.
