You could take 10 seconds to google “origin of the word antisemitism” if you don’t want to look silly.
But methinks you’re afraid to learn anything about the history of antisemitism since you might find out you’re following the exact pattern of racists in the past.
You can talk about the origin. But we all know exactly what it means now: people who want to expand Israel land area to encompass more (or all) of Palestine.
This isn’t some ambiguous political term. It is quite simple. If you think it is offensive, stop advocating for that future.
You’re pre-supposing what other people think to rationalize your hatred. This is the tactic of a hate group.
ProPals are the ones who redefined it. Just because you are essentially in an echo chamber here doesn’t make you correct.

You could take your own advice and look up what and where “zionist” came from. 🤦♂️

You should look up the word “rootless cosmopolitan” and “globalist”. Your little hate group isn’t the first to come up with an alternate term for Jews in an attempt to popularize antisemitism. Nothing you’re doing is new or clever. It’s the same old shit that has happened throughout history again and again. You think hairsplitting over the terminology you’re using is going to make people not see your pattern of behaviour?
