Of course we need the poster.

Beyond that, while I hate to throw cold water, again, on the "semitic race" commentary, the fact is for nearly three centuries it has been a solely linguistic term, like Hispanic. It referred to people who spoke semitic languages. Today Hebrew ranks as #4 on the list, headed by Arabic, then Amharic, next Tigrinya. The latter two spoken in the Horn of Africa, mostly Ethopia and Tigrinya in Eritrea as well. And there's Aramaic, think middle eastern particularly Syrian and I believe Iraqi Christians. And Malta. Add the Kurds and others, and well most Ethopian semites don't share the same race as most Jews.

Did I say Hispanic? For a few thousand years, residents of Hispania. Not Aztlan. Over time speakers of the language of the peninsula, Spanish and Portugese. At one time Benjamin Cardozo, the second Jewish Supreme Court justice was the first Hispanic justice. Many Sephardic Jews descend from Hispanics. But things change, as racial preferences became popular they became a race, I believe Portugese was officially dropped from the definition by the census bureau under Jimmy Carter, who else.

But none of this matters. Even if "semite" was a distinct race, it wouldn't matter because the author of this poster hates Jews and whites. Probably a black lives matter guy. If it was a neo Nazi, it would be to end black privilege go after the Jews. BLM and white supremacists have a lot in common

1. Kurdish is an Iranian Language. Still, I wouldn't call them Aryan.
2. Antisemitism doesn't mean "against Semites". It means hatred of Jews. It was coined to mean racial hatred against Jews. Most Semites are antisemitic.

I see more and more “eeevil Joos” crap around the internet lately. I guess the commieprogs teaming up with moslems has emboldened the neo nazis.
