(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)
The queen dowager of Jordan, Noor Al Hussein, tweeted: “#Semite. Definition from Merriam-Webster dictionary. How it has been coopted for so long to exclude all but one group has always baffled me.”

She then recorded the dictionary’s three definitions of the word Semite.

Clearly, this is an effort to mitigate Jews’ pain as victims of hate, and instead neutralize us as part of one big Semitic group.

---snip---

"The Jew is hated as whatever the anti-Semite holds responsible for his own misfortune. If you are a capitalist, the Jew is a Communist; if you are a Communist, the Jew is a capitalist. If you are a pacifist, the Jew is a warmonger. If you are a warrior, the Jew is a coward. Depending on your circumstance, the Jew can be grimy or snobbish, rootless or nationalist, invader or separatist. And if 100 years ago American bigots saw Jews as Asiatic cross-breeds, today bigots see them as ‘hyper white.’

“If you want to know what a culture considers most problematic, look at its brand of anti-Semitism. When you have headlines about ‘white privilege’ and ‘evil white men,’ Jews become the epitome of whiteness, except, of course, for Neo-Nazis, who see Jews as hyper-integrationists.”

1. maybe she should take a closer look at the antisemitism problem in Jordan

Instead of worrying about a word, coined by an Antisemite, that refers to Jew hatred.
