Tourism Israel-Iran Conflict Puts a Damper on Thailand's Tourist Dreams
Courtesy of chatgpt: The statement contains a mix of historical linguistic facts and contemporary misunderstandings, and it reflects a common misconception. Here's a breakdown: ✅ Partly True (Linguistic Origin): The term "Semitic" originally refers to a language family, which includes Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, Amharic, and others. In that sense, both Jews and Arabs are "Semitic peoples" linguistically. ❌ Misleading or Incorrect (Modern Meaning of "Anti-Semitism"): The term "anti-Semitism" was coined in 19th-century Europe by German journalist Wilhelm Marr, and from the beginning, it specifically referred to hostility or prejudice against Jews, not against all Semitic peoples. In modern usage, "anti-Semitism" = anti-Jewish prejudice, not general hatred of Semitic-language speakers. Major organizations like the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), Oxford Dictionary, Merriam-Webster, and the UN all define anti-Semitism as specifically anti-Jewish. ⚠️ Misuse of the Linguistic Argument: Some people use the broader linguistic definition of "Semitic" to claim that "Arabs can't be anti-Semitic" or "Criticism of Jews isn't anti-Semitism", but these arguments misrepresent the actual historical and current usage of the term. The phrase "Jews don't have a monopoly on anti-Semitism" is often used to deflect or delegitimize concerns about anti-Jewish hate, which can veer into bad-faith or antisemitic rhetoric itself. ✅ Summary: Semitic = linguistic term for a group of languages (Hebrew, Arabic, etc.) Anti-Semitism = modern term for anti-Jewish hatred. It has nothing to do with Arabic speakers in this context. So, the post is technically semi-accurate on language, but misleading and wrong on the sociopolitical and historical meaning of "anti-Semitism". I'm not gonna even waste time responding to the rest of the biased nonsense in the post -

A scenario of an after action discussion following air attack on nuclear facilities in Iran
Donald has warned Iran that within 2 weeks "something will happen". Giving them time to "relocate" critically enriched Urainium away from the targeted aereas. Delaiying Iranian goals for a couple of years at best. Atomic bombs are made in the human brain, supported by some basic physics. Why is the US constantly underestimating the intellectuel capabilities of their adversaries? -
