METAL
The term 'semite' was first popularized by a French writer in the mid-19th century. He was a racist. He lumped Arabs and Jews, as semites, in to an inferior stereotypic category as compared with superior 'Aryans'.
But in 19th century Europe the vast majority of Semites were Jews. So "Semite" was quickly conflated with "Jew". The term "antisemitic" derives subsequent to that etymologic Jew-Semite admixture.

You just cant accept that these Jews arent the same mob of people.

Orthodox Jews were also more likely than Jews in other denominations to say that the Israeli government was making a sincere effort to reach a peace settlement with the Palestinians and that God gave the land that is now Israel to the Jewish people. By contrast, most Jewish Americans said they did not think that either the Israeli government or Palestinian leaders were sincerely seeking peace. And most Jewish adults took the position that God “did not literally give” the land of Israel to the Jewish people (42%) or said they do not believe in God or a higher power at all (24%).
Orthodox Jews support Israel. Reform Jews not so much.
quote:
Or, as Etan Nechin, an Israeli journalist who edits The Bare Life Review, a journal of immigrant and refugee literature, argues, “The left thinks that Israel exists only on a highly ideological-political level. There are no people in it. It’s only a tabula rasa.”
Your position is firmly with the American left, including reform Jews.

That doesn't address the issue of what Jews in Israel believe. Also, orthodox Jews reject Christ. By definition, they are unregenerate and misled and out of the will of God.

My position is firmly biblical. Orthodox Jews are attempting to raise up their messiah because they won't accept God. They're also more than willing to use duped Christians to do so. Again, as a strategic matter, it's smart and I don't fault them for that, but I'm not going to pretend that I have some obligation to name and shame anyone who says anything cross-ways against Jews. They don't mind saying it about me.

Well, their Prime Minister is absolutely loathed by progressives and American Jews.

Their last prime minister was revered by the left. American Jews and progressives all screamed that Trump was a Nazi and rabid anti-semite. All his kids are married to Jews. His orthodox Jewish son was an integral part of his administration. Americans are idiots.
Once again, talking about what people in America think in no way defines what Israeli thinks.

Great! Two people who know nothing about the Bible but think they do, fight!! I look forward to who brings up “Armageddon” will start in Israel first and this is a sign of the times.

Probably still is, considering he was replaced by someone far more conservative.
