Ben Gvir is simply calling for Nationalist Socialism, to protect the Fatherland, dehumanizing Palestinians to justify people following orders and annexing neighbors. Well, that definitely not at all like Nazi Germany at all then (bitter sarcasm).
It already has lost its meaning. Semites are anyone who speak or spoke a semetic language. Arabic and Hebrew are both semetic languages. Palestinians and Israelis are both semites.
You know, you’re right. It doesn’t matter how words are used, only the etymology matters.
That’s why it’s ok to refer to black people as negros. After all, “negro” is the Spanish word for “black”, so “negros” just means “blacks”. And the n-word is just an English version of negro after all.
The meaning of words is defined by how they’re used. Antisemitic has never been used to refer to anything but hating Jews akin to how the n-word has been used as an insult instead of a neutral descriptor.
You cannot use the n-word as a neutral descriptor, nor can you use the term antisemitism to describe hatred of non-Jewish ethnicities.
At this point I can’t take it at face value unless I know who’s saying it. At least in this case I know it’s coming from a genocidal waste of human life.
