I love how antisemites will say things like "Arabs are Semitic too, soπ
" & thinking it's HighIQ claim - you're the ones going on about "we must understand the context".
Antisemitism is a European, English, term for hate of Jews, because the only Semites they knew were Jewish
Antisemitism is a European, English, term for hate of Jews, because the only Semites they knew were Jewish
Anti-Jewish hatred and bigotry is older than the European term "Antisemitism" - its first attestation is with Antiochus VI Epiphanes, and with Apion. Back then it was just hating Jews, no bombastic term needed.
If they don't like the term - fine. They're Judeophobes, Jew-haters, Anti-Jews - whatever makes them feel fine about being a part of one of the oldest systems of hate and prejudice in history.
Antiochus *IV Epiphanes, of course.
