the palestinians are the semites...semite just means 'someone from the lavant' and doesn't necessarily have anything to do with judaism or islam. zionists from europe and north america aren't semites. they are colonizers.

and Israelis literally block Sephardic Jews from Israel. The people crying anti-semite every time people criticize their literal war crimes are not semites. they are colonizing fascist genociders who are now terrorizing hospitals that are running out of supplies and fuel which is killing more babies. there is also undeniable evidence that many of the Israeli civilians killed on October 7th were actually killed by the idf not Hamas. but my tax dollars keep going to fund those murderers while i haven't had healthcare for seventeen years.
i am sick and tired of people who are monsters playing victim and accusing everyone else of bigotry. this is why words like 'racist' and 'sexist' and 'woman' mean nothing now.

no but
i am not denying the existence of semites. i am denying ashkenazi Zionists using the term for themselves like it is exclusively theirs or even has anything to do with them
criticism does not equal hate or bigotry. war crimes deserve to be criticized. even the geneva convention says occupied people have the right to armed resistance. you have no moral high ground to stand on when you are engaged in collective punishment by way of bombing hospitals bakeries and refugee camps.

I say..."his wife" because I don't recall her name. Is that sexism or just age?

Sarah. And according to Jewish history, God has been "anti-Semitic" on multiple occasions when they turned into materialists who corrupted humanity. I'm pretty sure that goes for all materialists who corrupt humanity. So it should be called "anti-materialist" not anti-Semitic", except some folks like to hate Jews.
Chaldeans are every bit as materialistic, if not more so, while much of white America is raising the demon spawn of the rich in their children's bodies, so there's a real popourri of motivations for "anti" by anyone that might want to move along past greed vs. scarcity economics.
Our bodies may feed tumors..we choose not to once we realize they exist and that they are destroying us. The universe is the source of that impulse.

Oh that's nothing. Go look up what a shitbag "Israel" was.
The nation of Israel is named after Abraham's grandson Jacob, who changed his name to Israel. Here's a little bit about Jacob from Genesis 27 and Genesis 35:
When Jacob's father Isaac was old and almost blind, he asked his oldest son Esau to go out hunting and bring him some meat. He was planning on finally blessing him. Instead, while Esau was out hunting, Jacob's mother told Jacob to grab some goats and she would cook them. Then she covered his arms in skins to make them seem hairy like his older brother.
When his father asked him who he was, he lied and said he was Esau, then received the blessing that was not his. This made him the inheritor and family patriarch. (Materialist much?)
Later, in Genesis 35, his wife is giving birth, but there are complications. She has a son and names him Ben Oni before dying. Jacob promptly renames the boy Benjamin, because well..f--- Rebekah.
Obviously the people of the Kingdom of Judah knew this before naming their nation..making "Israel" an interesting choice.

Apparently you have read the Old Testament. If people do read it, they are confronted with a jealous, vengeful, murderous god. Nuff said

I wrote about that in the chapter titled "Being Smitten":
"In reality, it’s only through the lens of a modern, gentler hindsight that we’re often struck with what appears to be an angry, violent, vengeful God..especially in the Old Testament.
What a stark contrast to the loving Father of the New Testament, who appeals more to our current sensibilities.
Yet, if we look to where civilization was at the time, we see that humanity still lived a fairly barbarous existence.
People were much more warlike in the Bronze Age. They were taking eyes and teeth in revenge. They had to fight hard not to fight. The ability to vanquish enemies and administer swift justice were highly prized leadership skills. And so, perhaps describing an “angry” God was a more required deterrent.
(A Sufi story about a donkey trainer ends with the man clubbing a stubborn donkey, even though he preached 'love, light and kindness' in training animals. This abuse angered the client. The trainer’s response was that 'sometimes, you must get their attention first.' Sadly, intimidation may be a prelude to civilization, when ego-minds resist.)
(blather stop. This is one of the conclusions that rubs me the wrong way the most. I'm not done examining it like a full-blown skeptic, but yea..blech.)
It’s little wonder that Jewish scriptures often spoke of God’s ways in harsher terms early on. It was a harsh life in the wilderness and people were hardened by it. God was strong.
And so these fierce but loving people write to us of a fierce but loving God, who would avenge the unjustly oppressed and reward the faithful with riches and children. God was both sword and shield.
Who knows? Perhaps it was the gentling effect of family, (or Roman occupation) that brought us to the much more civil tone of the Greek Scriptures.
Here we find that we’re expected to tame our thoughts, as well as our actions. We’d moved on from simply curbing our urges, to taming our egos as well.
Our progress away from materialism was such, that God was described not primarily in terms of a capacity to punish or give wealth, but to love and give immortality.
With our changing social landscape came a subsequently strengthened connection to our spiritual nature, which found expression in descriptions of a gentler God.
Through the rise and collapse of empires, we were making progress. And it seemed to be toward a connection with the Universal Spirit."
