Vote 1 Ventriloquist Dummy Party! Really?

Encyclopaedia Brittanica: “Semite, Name given in the 19th century to a member of any people who speak one of the Semitic languages, a family of languages spoken primarily in parts of western Asia and Africa. The term therefore came to include Arabs, Akkadians, Canaanites, Hebrews, some Ethiopians (including the Amhara and the Tigrayans), and Aramaean tribes. Although Mesopotamia, the western coast of the Mediterranean, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Horn of Africa have all been proposed as possible sites for the prehistoric origins of Semitic-speaking populations,”

I reference Encyclopaedia Brittanica the bastion of white supremacy. When the leader of the Opposition vilifies the Palestinians etc he is being antisemitic. Yet another example of how some members of the Israeli community and our politicians and media have hijacked words (it wasn’t only Jews who were mass murdered during the Holocaust). It wasn’t/isn’t only the Germans who carried out/are carrying out a genocide.
