    Jews, including Ashkenazi, have Levantine DNA. Jews in Europe were not accepted as Polish, German, etc. That was the whole reason Zionism became a thing.

    Antisemitism is a term coined specifically to be a more polite word for Jew hatred and Anti-Judaism. Semitic is a linguistic term, not an ethnic one.

      They specifically do not, which is why Israel forbids DNA analysis. Their eastern European origin is the result of “pick a fucking religion” ultimatum to entirely separate people.

          Way to slut shame the Israelites. I guess then everyone should have the divine supremacist right of “Thou shalt steal the land of those you must murder and destroy idols from”. Civilizational constraints are so inconvenient, but fortunately now, everyone can be a genocidal chosenite, and we can end the civilizational principles/rules experiment.

      Semitic is a linguistic term, not an ethnic one.

      The sons of Shem shared the land with the Caananites (sons of Ham (also Noah’s son), though like Indians who never heard of India, their fellow Levant/Sumerian decendant tribes never heard of Caanan or Ham) and had extremely similar language to Hebrew. They shared the same god that Abraham named his IsraELite children, that Moses would later tell us that (no god before me) Yahweh had demonically impersonated, where Yahweh was one of 70 sons of El.

      So Semite, is either just the Israelite descendants of Shem/Abraham, or the entirety of the Levant/Mesopotamia people if language based. The Ashkenazi are none of these, whether or not they went to Hebrew School.
