Just want to point this out, but Palestinians are technically Semites.

I'm against both obviously, but I thought it was important to point out that the Jewish people themselves are anti-semitic for their genocide.

(As are all other Arabs, as well as Ethiopians and more)
Yeah, but does etymology really mean anything any more? I don't know when, how, or why antisemitic came to be used for Jews only, but that's what it means now.

also... just a wording thing...

the Jewish people themselves are anti-semitic for their genocide [emphasis mine]

That's exactly the sort of discussion the OP is trying to prevent.
