[HANASHIR:11320] Jews & Arabs are both 'Semitic'....

[billyjonas <billyjonas...>]

hey, y'all -- it's true many Palestinians and other Arabs are anti-Jewish
and anti-Israel; i'm having a hard time with folks writing that they are
anti-Semitic, since they are a Semitic people as well as we are. 'Course
some ot their seemingly nihilistic policies and actions qualify as
anti-semitic (destroying us and them)..... But i think it's an important
distinction.
We are one.

WEBSTERS: "Semite - a member of any of the peoples whose language is
Semitic, including the Hebrews, Arabs, Phonecians, Assyrians,
Babylonians, etc.; not, specifically, a Jew."
