Oy! Those Crafty Jews!

[gipper]

The word was coined with a meaning, and as a unit ("anti-semitism"). It meant and means "anti-Jew". Trying to break it into parts and then reimagine it is intellectually dishonest.

Separate question, would you consider Iranians to be "semites"?

What’s most ironic about people who constantly accuse others of antisemitism, is they simultaneously are pushing hate and racism toward Muslims.

Do you see it?

At what point did the 'nation' of Palestine buy, steal, settle, or seize the property in war they claim belongs to them?

Individual Arabs owned land in Mandate Palestine under the same legal code as Jews owned their homes, businesses, and farms:

GoogleAI Overview:

"Land ownership in Mandatory Palestine was primarily determined by a hybrid system of Ottoman land laws and updated British cadastral surveys. [1, 2]"

Jewish land purchase in Palestine - Wikipedia

"On 1 April 1945, the British administration's statistics showed that Jewish buyers had legal ownership over approximately 5.67% of the Mandate's total land area, while state domain (a large part of which was held in hereditary lease or had undetermined ownership) was 46%.

"By the end of 1947, Jewish ownership had increased to 6.6%.

"This cycle of land acquisition ultimately ended when the Israeli Declaration of Independence yielded the founding of the Jewish state on 14 May 1948.

Do you believe these land laws applied only to Jews?

I don't think you are using "ironic" correctly.

Actually, when first coined, it was in German and did not have the hyphen. Otherwise, you are correct that it has never meant anything other than hatred of Jews.

 

[gipper]

I don't think you are using "ironic" correctly.

Of course you don’t. You find it perfectly acceptable to hate Muslims and want them oppressed. It’s ingrained and entirely natural to you.

You don’t find it acceptable for anyone to think the same of Jews.

Do you see the irony now?

No, you just don't understand the term and why it is inapplicable (though I assume you are talking about situational irony -- if you meant dramatc or verbal, LMK)

You don’t find it acceptable for anyone to think the same of Jews.

Do you see the irony now?

You still aren't using it properly. You should talk to your English teacher so that when you reach high school, you don't embarrass yourself.

 

[Frankeneinstein]

I'm not antisemitic. I'm anti-Nazi Jew.

it seems there are no more antisemites among us as they have all taken to hating jews in specific terms which is different...somehow

 

[Lisa558]

I'm not antisemitic. I'm anti-Nazi Jew.

Oh, riiiiiight. A libtard who talks about “Nazi Jews” (there are none) and then claims he’s not an antisemite.

 

[Captain Creeper]

Actually, its kind of the opposite.

"Anti-Semitism" is kind of a silly argument because 1) "Semite" is an artificial racial term created by people who couldn't separate their religious superstition from their science, and 2) by definition, the Arabs are a "Semitic" people.

So you are "anti-Semitic" if you oppose Jews (Semites) killing Arabs (also Semites)?

When you try to rationalize THAT hard it means you are guilty of it.

OMG ^^^ the irony.

Muslims are crazy. Jews are not.

See the difference?

 

[teddyearp]

There are extremely few terrorists, Muslims and American democrats who believe Trump and BiBi are good leaders.

Well, I do not fall into any of those categories, but it seems like he is past his time? I dunno, just maybe Israel needs a new face after these decades of Bibi. Give everyone else somebody different to pick on, because as you well know, it all about those evil joooooooooooooooos. I think he has done a good job, but . . . . Just musing really . . .

 

[teddyearp]

God says that unbelievers worshipping false gods are fools. Muslims are fools in God's eyes.

Mohammed (may he rot in hell), is a prime example of the false prophets Jesus said would come and lead many astray . . .

 

[Lesh]

Their liberalism supersedes their Judaism. Scary.

I know a self-loathing radical left Jew. She was marching with the pro-Palestinians as they chanted “Death to Jews!” a week after the 10/7 massacre.

She is totally secular.

Sure ya do

 

[gipper]

Muslims are crazy. Jews are not.

See the difference?

Yet who is committing genocide? Who has invaded and stolen land? Who mass murders woman and children? Who rapes and tortures with impunity?

You are the typical dumb American duped by decades of hate propaganda against Muslims pushed by Zionists.

You know nothing. STFU.

Hamas. Next question?

Jews didn’t fly airplanes into The World Trade Center on 9/11 killing 3,000 innocent people.

Muslims did and should have paid dearly for the act.

If you believe 19 radical Muslims, who liked titty bars and blow yet couldn’t fly a kite, did 9/11 you’re a dumb MFer.

STFU!

The IDF is guilty of committing regular war crimes in Palestine and elsewhere:

GoogleAI Overview:

"Discoveries of Mass Graves

• "Summary Executions: Several mass graves have been uncovered at major medical complexes, including Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis and Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. The United Nations Human Rights Office documented that numerous recovered bodies were found with their hands and feet tied, strongly indicating unlawful detention and summary executions of individuals who were hors de combat (out of combat). [1, 2]"

It seems democrats and leftists cannot see the atrocities committed by Jew haters.

Jewish land ownership in Palestine prior to 1948 seems better documented than the confused, vague or limited documentation of various Arabs and other alleged land owners.

   Before 1948, land in Palestine was predominantly owned by Arab individuals and families, with Jewish ownership accounting for a small but significant portion, documented through Ottoman and British Mandate legal systems.​

   Overview of Land Ownership​

   Prior to 1948, the majority of land in Palestine was held by Arab peasants (fellahin), absentee landlords, and religious endowments (Waqf), while Jewish land ownership was limited but strategically concentrated. By 1945, Jewish buyers legally owned approximately 5.67% of the Mandate’s total land area, increasing to 6.6% by the end of 1947 through purchases by private individuals and organizations such as the Jewish National Fund and the Palestine Land Development Company Wikipedia. These purchases were often concentrated in the coastal plains, the Jezreel Valley, and parts of Galilee Wikipedia.
   
   

   Ottoman and British Legal Frameworks​

   Under Ottoman rule, land ownership was regulated through the 1858 Land Code, which required registration of land titles (Tapu). Many Palestinian peasants lacked formal deeds, relying on traditional claims, which sometimes led to dispossession due to taxation, debt, or absentee landlords myjli.com. During the British Mandate (1920–1948), land transactions were formally recorded, and Jewish organizations legally acquired land through purchase agreements, often transforming previously uncultivated or underutilized areas into agricultural settlements jordandaily.net+1.
   
   

   Jewish Land Purchases​

   Jewish land acquisition began in the late 19th century, primarily by Ashkenazi immigrants, and continued through the early 20th century. Notable transactions, such as the Sursock Purchases, involved large estates in the Jezreel Valley and Haifa Bay, sometimes resulting in the eviction of Arab tenants Wikipedia. By 1948, Jews had purchased roughly 2 million dunams, forming the territorial nucleus for the future state of Israel israeled.org. Despite claims that Arabs owned 94% of the land, historical research shows that this figure is misleading, as much land was state-owned, uncultivated, or held by absentee landlords israeled.org.
   
   

   Palestinian Land Documentation​

   Extensive archives, such as the Bseiso Family Archive, preserve pre-1948 Palestinian land ownership records, including Hijjeh deeds, Ottoman tax records, maps, and surveys. These documents demonstrate that Palestinians maintained legal ownership and cultivated land under a functioning legal system, even amid colonial governance jordandaily.net+1. The archives provide evidence of both local and absentee Arab landowners, showing that land ownership was complex and not solely concentrated in the hands of a few.
   
   

   Conclusion​

   Before 1948, Palestine’s land ownership was a mix of Arab peasant holdings, absentee landlords, Waqf lands, and a small but growing Jewish-owned portion. Jewish land purchases were legally documented and strategically located, while Palestinian land ownership was maintained through Ottoman and Mandate legal systems. The historical record, supported by archival evidence, highlights the nuanced and legally structured nature of land tenure in pre-1948 Palestine Wikipedia+2.
