I am tired of the way the word Semite has been co-opted to mean Jewish. Semites are an ethnic group of which some Jews are the smallest minority, and which encompasses 300 million Arabs, several million Assyrians, Chaldeans and others. When did Jews suddenly become the only Semites in the world? That said, when an entity chooses to govern a land by expelling a population that have inhabited that land for over 1500 years, dispossess them of their property and harass them, then they must also accept the criticism laid at their door. When did Israel become so sacrosanct that they are above criticism of their policies, their racism and the neo-fascist actions of their government.
