Hi, Jew here. Allow me to demonstrate your stance.

Fuck Israel's genocidal campaign and everyone who supports it.

FIN

Yeah this is such a simple thing to argue against. The only jewish person that would be offended by a piece of paper with "free palestine" written on it is one that supports the Israeli genocide.

The word "semite" has two definitions, one mediveal and one modern.
Palestinians are Semites according to both of them.

In practice, "antisemitic" means "anti-Jewish".

While yes, the specific term "anti-Semitism" was popularized by the German journalist Wilhelm Marr as an alternative to the (at the time) more common phrase Judenhaß (e.g. Jew-hatred).

Basically, he wanted a more scientific-sounding term that made it sound less like plain hatred of other people but made it seem like the supposed deficiencies of Jewish people was a byproduct of their race rather than belonging to Jewish individuals.

His use of semitism/semitic as only referring to Jewish people rather than the broader group of peoples the terms had, originally, been coined for was also in line with other Germans of both his era and the previous century (and certainly into the next century as the Nazis used these reasonings to back their more developed "race" science and world-view).

That targeting has often been retained by the word even as it's outgrown its original prejudiced purpose.

And the award for best comment goes to you. Why didn't we all think of that?

I'm being serious. Good argument.

It's a typo. It's supposed to say "plasticine".

No I'm pretty sure palestin is food. They're just labelling the free food.

The details are lacking, if this is on everyones meals, then that's ok in my books, if it only targets Jewish people then there is a problems

muslims would likely prefer kosher meals as well, unless there's a specifically halal option.

It is a simple fact that the vast majority of Jewish people support the Occupation

Even if this were true, it would still be wrong to target a random Jewish person for your message about Israel. Members of a class should not be treated differently because of that class, even if the concerns of the wider class are valid. That is literally prejudice. Pre-judicial thinking, you are judging them early.
