Everything you say here is false. 1. Israel's stated goal is to neuter Hamas and return the hostages, not kill civilians. 2. Arabs speak a semitic language; the "semites" in "anti-semite" has always referred to Jews. 3. Jews, including white Ashkenazi European Jews, are levantine in origin. Their lineage traces to Judea. 4. "Antisemitic" means anti-Jew. You are using it to mean anti-Arab, but arabs are not semites 5. You did make all that up!

Sure, yeah, just like it was in any number of previous operations, which at the time they declared successful, even though they did quite a bit more of the latter. Per Occam's razor, either they are prodigious bunglers, or you are overly credulous.

And yet so many dead civilians. It's almost like a genocial terrorist country like israel always lie. Also, I was referring to israel's genocide of the semites in palestine to found "israel" up to present day. You conveniently forgot about it.

> 2. Arabs speak a semitic language; the "semites" in "anti-semite" has always referred to Jews.

Arabs are ethnic semites who speak a semitic language. "Israelis" are non-semitic europeans pretending to be "jews". Ethnic europeans are not semites and can never be semites because they come from an entire separate branch of the human family tree.

> 3. Jews, including white Ashkenazi European Jews, are levantine in origin. Their lineage traces to Judea.

No they do not. Maybe a handful.

> 4. "Antisemitic" means anti-Jew.

No it does not because semite doesn't mean "jew". A semite and a jew are two different things.

> You are using it to mean anti-Arab, but arabs are not semites

No. I'm using semite to mean semite. Arabs surely are semites. Europeans are not though.

> 5. You did make all that up!

If arabs are not semites, then what are they? You say arabs are not semites and I'm the liar? I'm making shit up?
