AFAIK, most of modern Israelis are not really related to Semites (Arabs, Assyrians, etc.) but are descendants of many European or American people.

    Nope. The strongest anti-zionists were Jewish. The concept of creating Israel using military forces they did kind of goes against basic precepts of the faith.

      Okay. How about calling Jesus and Mary “jews” of talmudic descendancy, if Talmud was only created 400 years later? Is that also a manipulation?

        Those are fictional characters, Bud. But if we’re going to take the talmud or the Bible or whatever you want seriously, it doesn’t look good for Israel’s claim on the land since they slaughtered people for it… Kind of reverses all their claims about how they were the natives.

    Antisemitism as understood by most is a very narrow and inaccurate definition. The majority of Semitic people aren’t Jewish, and most Israeli Jews have European, Indian, Iranian or Amazigh ancestry.

      So why don’t the real Semites protest against using them in Israeli’s political fights?
