    Nope, the etymology of "anti-Semitism" originates with one man named willhelm who used it specifically as a racial term though yes clearly a veiled commentary on Judaism. It didn't however change the meaning of the word as used by its Creator.

    Google it's etymology and get back to me about how "people like me" are.

      And the swastika was originally a religious symbol in Eurasia.

      While true, it is a pointless fact that contributes nothing to the discussion as they are commonly used in a different way and understood by everybody. This is nothing more than derailing a discussion.

        Across the planet actually, notably American native populations used it.

        That's my point. Using "anti Semitic" as anti judaic is soft propaganda.

      Can you please just fuck off and leave me alone with your antisemitic bullshit and false statements? Nevermind there is a blocking function for people like you…

        Anti judaic is what it would be, I'm not however bigoted in that manner. I hate both of these fucks and religion in general for excusing such behavior.

        But no screech about how objective fact isn't so because your fee fees got hurt by things I never said.
