The US House of representatives is preparing to vote next week on a resolution that would deem “Free Palestine” to be “an antisemitic slogan.”
If anybody votes against this, they’ll say they voted to support Colorado terrorist attack.

This is a common refrain online but doesn’t really make sense.
Antisemitism means prejudice against Jewish people.
Separately, the technical term “semitic” is used to mean a subgroup of related afro-asiatic languages including Hebrew, Arabic, Akkadian, Phonecian, Assyrian, et al.
The fact that the word for prejudice against Jews contains a root word that refers to a different classification is just one of those weird language things - antisemitism has only ever meant prejudice against Jews.

Being anti-semitic means being against any of them. Not just the jews. This whole Canard of it being just only against Jews is a Zionist redefinition.
