There's a difference between being antisemitic and anti Israel! People seem to forget these days. Being antisemitic because Israel is being shit is extremely stupid

Aren't Palestinians semitic?

Yes but humanity has agreed that the term "anti semitic" specifically means "anti jewish". Like how if you say "I could care less" everyone understands you meant "I couldnt care less".

That's also why it's spelled 'antisemitic' versus 'anti-Semitic', to avoid the idea that it means against Semitic people but against Jewish people specifically, replacing the earlier term "Judenhass" (Jew-hatred) in the late 1800s.
