My name has been changed on LinkedIn by Zionist from “antisemitic” to “Jew hater” after my reflection on the question of who the true Semitic people are. As an Arab Palestinian who is also Semitic, how could I possibly be antisemitic? I’ve dedicated my life to peace and justice for all humanity, and my Jewish friends can attest to this.
I learned these values from my late father, who, along with his family, was forced out by the Zionist who are “not Semitics” from their home in Jerusalem in 1948 and fled to Jordan, where I was born. He taught me about the days when Jews, Muslims, and Christians lived together in the same buildings, as neighbors, in harmony—sharing a common Semitic heritage. It’s this shared history that motivates me to work for a future of peace, understanding, and coexistence.
The true “haters of Jews” are the Zionists themselves, as they demonstrate through their actions, as shown below.
- They have exploited Judaism to advance a political agenda.
- Their actions are evident in the harsh treatment inflicted on the Jews.
- Many Jewish voices have distanced themselves, declaring, “Not in my name.”
- They have committed genocide in the name of the broader community, without its full consent.
I’m sure you’ll agree, based on your own observations.
My appeal to Jews, Muslims, and Christians alike: Let us unite to replace despair with HOPE, fear with true SECURITY, and humiliation with DIGNITY.
