Great point, Bufo. In fact, in that last paragraph I was going to write how this is the semites (of Palestine, Lebanon, and other Arabs) fighting the antisemites and we must support the semites. I should have stuck to it.
Nevertheless, we must use this language extensively and make it commonplace.
Yes it is about decolonialising the language and its use in colonial contexts which Israel and its lobby have used in a somewhat historically ironic manner - in the case of “ anti Semitism “ it’s been used powerfully to deflect attention away from the real issues at stake and ironically used to beat Arabs with whilst at the same time disenfranchising them from their basic common identity.
Breaking the hold of this terms exclusivity to Jews and allowing Arabs to take back ownership would be a powerful way of paving the way to both groups future relations based more on mutual respect and solidarity rather than todays basis of exclusivism and animosity entrenched as it is in the language of division . Artificial division at that .
No Arab - Jewish interaction should be completed without the reminder - WE ARE ALL AFTER ALL , SEMITES .
It is not a dirty word. It alludes to ancient and established civilisations whose history is more likely at least 20-30000 years old - our limits of knowledge only restricted by the pace at which archaeology can make new discoveries about the ancient past .
Not that I’m worried about their bad PR but I had to think how utterly stupid was to post this video and so shortly after posting video of heroic Sinwar’s death. (He’s for sure happy in Jannah he died this way and inspired so many). This cowardly killing of this Hesbollah warrior who most probably knew they kill him this way and still didn’t flinch a bit just cement the bad look.
The hero archetype for Jewish Zionists, and arguably for non-Zionist Jews as well, differs significantly from that of many other cultures. This distinction is one reason why videos of them eliminating adversaries often evoke unexpected reactions outside of the Zionist bubble. Take, for instance, the death of Sinwar: it garnered admiration and respect worldwide particularly from young people. Memes labeling him as a “LEGEND” or describing him as going out “LIKE A BOSS” quickly went viral across social media platforms. Americans, in particular, who have a history of celebrating underdogs, saw in Sinwar an unlikely hero, but one they could recognize.
Taking back the word Semite into Arab ownership is a priority in the war centred on political slogans and privileges.
Ir is key that Arabs TAKE BACK the term SEMITE and nullify the term “anti-Semite “ ironically used so effectively against them .

Very important effort, first step to be free is properly naming the things that opress

Shame on the “Free World”
Shame on the marauding squatters

Yes, his fight against insane odds, and his death tell you everything you need to know about this war's participants. Rest in peace Ibrahim Haider.
The film “Lyd” has been banned, so obviously we all need to go see it.

I can't see any evidence of success in this video, alas
