well Im juggling tasks right now so briefly RK Danny SLRub but mostly RK who outright makes a horses ass of himself on a regular basis Im curious how you all felt when you read that semitism is in the MW dictionary Keep that feeling in mind when you decide to assume things As for meaning and use what about PhiloSemitism there we have two terms which include the word semitism one of them being the inverse of which RK and others have previously stated that its use applies to Jews only     I dont have a word for RK  he repeatedly calls me an antiSemite and he no would doubt be an embarrassment to his particular ethnicity if most of his people werent smart enough to attribute his stupidity to him alone    By the logic of SG above  that it would aready be covered  and therefore its in need of censoring   this would mean that antiSemitism itself is already covered under the heading of racism  Racism AntiaryanismantiSemitism antinihonwenism antiAsianism antiAfricanism etc  Note that of the above categories  only three stand out as being vague or indistinct  aaryan what is white antisemitism what issemitism again and antinihonwenism  antiJapanesism is this really a phenomenon   you all raise interesting points And most of you seem to be of Jewish decent Im I to make some inference from this How is it that RK is gallant and unrestrained in editing article after article IsPal conf islamism alqaeda terrorism ad inf none of these things are about Judaism Theyre about Arabs How do rabid racist like RK and the passive racists like some who unwittingly support him propose to make indiscriminate and unhindered comment on Arab issues disguised as NPOV At the same time proclaiming defense of this term  for which he says it doesnt even exist  I would have loved to see his face when he came across the MW and AH dictionaries  What am I to say to all of this Can there be any argument that there is no Semitist bias Amer Heritage Dic defines it as  SYLLABICATION Semitism  PRONUNCIATION   smtzm  NOUN  A Semitic word or idiom  Semitic traits attributes or customs  A policy or predisposition in favor of Jews  Semitism Page  Semitism  n A Semitic idiom a word of Semitic origin Written also Shemitism   Now give me credit for writing in extremely short time a decent stub It even avoids the simplistic definition of predisposition  preference  Its unfortunate that we here at enwikipedia dont have adequate Arab representation This doesnt mean that we let people like RK jump over everything that cuts through his crap He scatters inuendo and antiArab propaganda around and I  ethnically IrishAmerican Catholic am among a few to dispute his crap Please Dan SL dont let this be a fight of SV against all Jews everywhere or more ttp of SV vs RK  time is too precious and Im weary of arguing with the fool and such foolishness its often bound to me seen as mine Murphys Law of course Be well Without any objective objections Im restoring the article later when I have time   Hi Stevert I guess I will give the first response to you Obviously this should not be seen as a fight between you or anyone else and all Jews everywhere I will however disagree with some of what you say which I think you will agree is legitimate Our goal should not be to score points against each others beliefs but to come to some common consensus about what is NPOV and report on it accordingly By the way you are also right in assuming that I am socially and culturally JewishIm not too keen on any definition of ethnicity that fits my particular circumstances long story  I am also professionally Jewish working at a Jewish museum developing curricula and actually dealing with a lot of these issues in a professional capacity While I am the first to admit that my education focusing on Judaic studies may prejudice some of what I write so will the facts that I am also a staunch agnostic I think God is too irrelevant to address the issue of its existence a socialist and the holder of three passports American Canadian and Israeli Before you jump to any conclusions I also define myself as a disillusioned Zionist and currently a cultural autonomist I believe in the preservation of a Jewish cultural identity in the Diaspora   Why am I saying all of this To give you some idea of the complexity of defining ones self as Jewish There are too many interpretations and shades of interpretations within Jewish life to define Jewish identity as a homogeneous unit There have always been f
