like one of the only (bullshit) arguments the Zionists have is that opposition to Israel equates to antisemitism (not true), but from what i understand, the "Semitic family" includes both Jews and Arabs, but i am potentially very wrong about this.

also i guess even if it is true, it's not a very good "gotcha" since it misses the point and truth doesn't matter to genocidal swine

    Yes but also no. Arabs are also Semitic peoples, but the word "antisemitic" was created specifically to refer to hatred of Jews (I think by a 19th century white nationalist). So racism against Arabs is anti-Semitic, but isn't antisemitism.
