Harvey, Zionism is the greatest enemy of the Jews because it makes the world think all Jews are immoral, murderous, racist psychopaths. But not all of them are.

This text applies more today than when it was first written:
"...The charge that criticism of Israel is implicitly anti-Semitic -- is regarded in Israel and the United States as Israel's trump card. If it has been played more insistently and aggressively in recent years, that is because it is now the only card left. The habit of tarring any foreign criticism with the brush of anti-Semitism is deeply ingrained in Israeli political instincts: Ariel Sharon used it with characteristic excess but he was only the latest in a long line of Israeli leaders to exploit the claim. David Ben-Gurion and Golda Meir did no different. But Jews outside of Israel pay a high price for this tactic. Not only does it inhibit their own criticisms of Israel for fear of appearing to associate with bad company, but it encourages others to look upon Jews everywhere as de facto collaborators in Israel's misbehavior. When Israel breaks international law in the occupied territories, when Israel publicly humiliates the subject populations whose land it has seized -- but then responds to its critics with loud cries of "anti-Semitism" -- it is in effect saying that these acts are not Israeli acts, they are Jewish acts: The occupation is not an Israeli occupation, it is a Jewish occupation, and if you don't like these things it is because you don't like Jews. In many parts of the world this is in danger of becoming a self-fulfilling assertion: Israel's reckless behavior and insistent identification of all criticism with anti-Semitism is now the leading source of anti-Jewish sentiment in Western Europe and much of Asia..."
Plus the way this term "anti-Semitism" was fashioned and used is purely propagandistic.
Semite is a descriptor of many peoples of the region including the people of Palestine and other Muslim people of the region!
The Israelis have highjacked the word Semite to apply only to themselves. It is illogical from all perspectives save those who need words for the purposes of PROPAGANDA, and those who need to change definitions for the purposes of deceit.
By hijacking the word Semite, the Israeli Zionists seem to desire to have the rest of the peoples of the region to be invisible and relegated only to a category of ENEMY which exists only in the war-minded aggressor and propagandist.
Take back the word Semite. It applies to a lot of people, not just the Israeli Zionists or Jews. If someone is anti-Semitic it should relate to a prejudice against all Semites not just descendants of the Holocaust.
Creating new meanings for words is a technique of obfuscation which makes communication and discussion and debate a big mess. Clean up the language, throw out the terms of Propagandists, and people will be able to communicate again.
