Technically, Palestinians are a Semitic people, too. And most of them aren’t half European. So, it could be argued that it’s more anti-Semitic to hate Palestinians than it is to hate Jewish people.

Technically the Ashkenazi majority in Israel ARE NOT Semitic people - at all. But yes, the Mizrahi are as are the Palestinians. Sephardic is more blurry - they probably do have some Semitic DNA, but also a lot of Spanish blood.

Exactly. It was Israelis who lobbied to have Semitic to apply only to them. Why do they have to steal every dam thing from Palestinians? Greed, jealousy, to aid their feelings of supremacy. Get over yourselves
