All I know is that I don't know nothin'

More white privelege. I'm reading a lot about 'the new antisemitism' where arabs hate jews. (It doesn't sound that new, does it?) But my question here is, aren't arabs also semites? (As well as Egyptians, I think.) And, in fact, aren't most converted jews likely to *not* be from semitic stock?

There's nothing new with Arabs hating Jews. It's probably new that the Western media is picking up on what the Arab media say on a daily basis, though. And yes, you're right about some arabs also being semites. No-one said the smart people were the bigots. ;-p

( The whole "Death, Death, Death to Israel!" song that was in the Egyptian top ten for weeks a few years back springs rapidly to mind. )
