New Rule: Everything I don't like is antisemitic

Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
Bro can i just say that i fucking hate that anti-semetic is even an argument used when someone demonstrates support for Hamas? it doesnt even make sense because by definition both parties are semetic.
Colloquially yeah it makes a lot of sense to say Hamas is antisemitic, the word means hatred for Jews regardless of the etymology of 'semite'. Take it up with marriam-webster, not the people correctly using the modern definition of the word
if you choose to believe that Hamas is not antisemitic that's your prerogative. I only note that so long as there is a hatred of Jews the word is being used correctly.
I hear both (non-settler) Jews and Christians live in Gaza, that wouldn't be possible if Hamas was all about Jew hating...
Where have you heard Jews live in Gaza?

Israeli Jews is what most people think in this context
It says in the wiki article that they became Israeli citizens. What are you on about?
Yet people still claim the label "Palestinian Jew" - are we to deny their claim to belief?
(Different commenter here.)
I've heard there are a few Jews living among the Arab population of the West Bank. I've heard nothing about Jews living in Gaza except for Israeli colonists who have since moved out. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me that non-colonist Jews would live in the occupied territories, because they are free to move to Israel by virtue of being Jews.
There is a small population of Arab Christians living in Gaza, and I would assume in the West Bank as well, though I can't recall hearing about them specifically.
You're not supposed to use the new one, it doesn't fit the narrative.

I can't argue with their charter, but their actions don't reflect their words.
I guess that would make Israel anti-Semitic as well.
