Regarding ” both Jews and Palestinians are Semitic peoples.”
It would seem that not all Jews are semitic; furthermore, that along with Palestinians who were brutally and illegally ousted from their homes during the Nakba so too were a number of Arabic/semitic Jews.
The promo-blub to Shlomo Sand’s book The Invention Of The People Of Israel is a good place to start:
“A historical tour de force, The Invention of the Jewish People offers a groundbreaking account of Jewish and Israeli history. Exploding the myth that there was a forced Jewish exile in the first century at the hands of the Romans, Israeli historian Shlomo Sand argues that most modern Jews descend from converts, whose native lands were scattered across the Middle East and Eastern Europe.” https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/2103-the-invention-of-the-jewish-people
Big thanks Dwayne for keeping us intellectually, emotionally and morally stirred up.
Please allow me to repeat my comment. It is very pertinent.

Sheople! Please read Dwayne’s words carefully, intelligently! (he said) ‘tired of having my criticism of the Israeli state misconstrued to be a criticism of Judaism or Jewish people’. He is not an anti-semite. And, just in case you are too stupid to realize it, both Jews and Palestinians are Semitic peoples. And, as my organization posits: ‘Violence is the tool evil people always reach for to solve problems.’
