ytg,

Antisemitism to Palestinian support is like misandry to feminism. Yeah, some people might be guilty of it (and those who are, misunderstand the latter ideologies), but it’s way overrepresented in opposing media, who is often guilty of such issues itself.

That’s an invalid (strikethrough: dictionary) etymology argument, and you know it. To clarify, when I said “antisemitism” I meant “a discriminatory attitude towards Jews” or something along those lines.

Edit: this is an etymology argument, not a dictionary one; most dictionaries probably agree with me. I don’t know how or why the word antisemitism came to be used to refer to Jews specifically, but surely it’s been this way for most of its history.
Either way, the most authoritative meaning of a word is that which was intended by the one who uttered it.

ytg,

I’d argue that if they put up a Palestinian flag, it’s clear that Palestine is being referred to.

In principle, though, I agree with your first point

ytg,

And “get”!
