0:36 "Anti-semitism is the expression of hostility or hatred towards the Jews as a race." Wrong. Jews are NOT a race. It is a religious and a cultural identity.
Oh dear. Hook, line and sinker. "Semitic" is a linguistic term, which includes Hebrew and Arabic among others as a group of languages. "Semite" is a pseudo-racial term, coined by racists. "Antisemitismus" was a follow on term, also coined by racists, but particularly to describe hatred of Jews. Do your homework.
Very easy to google the answer, I did so myself years ago because I was genuinely curious. Don't remember the guy's name, but it was about a hundred years ago someone coined "anti semitic" as a euphemism for "jew hatred" and it stuck.
@@Druffmaul That is not the answer to my question. And, "some guy a hundred years ago"? Wilhelm Marr popularised the term (Antisemiten-Liganti) the league of Anti Semites around 1879-81. I am not asking about that. Semites as a term includes or, included the Palestinians. When did that stop?
The bad thing about antisemitism isn't that it's about the Jews, it's about the hate in the words, if you are unsure, just replace muslim with jew and then see if you are offended
But we replace Israel with Iran and do we have Islamaphobia? How is criticism of Israel be equal to criticism of the Jew. And to be frank Islam had been criticised in manners that are islamaphobic way more than the the religion Judaism has been.
No one is arguing that Jew hatred isn't anti-semitism. The argument is that hating the Government of Israel is not the same thing as hating the religion of Judaism.
Another great interview by Mehdi, this is what professional journalist do, study your subject, have knowledge of your subject before interviewing your guest. Brilliant
This guy was given a free pass for so long until the 90s where other Jewish Historians basically called him on his BS. Then his house of cards started to crash as you can see. Had he been alive today, he would be intellectually dismembered by his fellow academics, who could and can no longer in good faith put up with his nonsense.
Why do we define the hatred of Jews as 'antisemitism', but the hatred of Arabs as 'Islamophobia'? The first involves hatred, the second, fear. Why? Words have meanings. I don't get it.
These people are absolutely shameless. They have gotten so used to throwing the accusation around to look the victim they simply can't help themselves.
This is the ridiculous nature of Zonism. We cant even have a reasonable conversation based on laws. Just chattering gibberish.
They always think they are superior.... 🙄
Mehdi doing another demolition job i see.
Perhaps that chap didn't know Mehdi was there. The knockout machine.

Wrong. Jews are NOT a race. It is a religious and a cultural identity.
its an ethno religion..and yes for many centuries Jews were treated as a separate race...eg Nazi Germany
Mehdi is very smart and sharp.
Well done Medhi. Great work.
Who and when was it decided that Arabs are no longer Semites? Honest question.
Zionists....so they could use the term....back in the 1800's I believe.

@@Neilweemuck You claimed you were asking the question in good faith. Now it's clear that was bullshit.
Nailed him!
Mehedi is sharp as a sword! Love the guy! What a treasure!!!
Boom boom boom … opened the door, walked him in and mic dropped the truth piece by piece.
Mehdi Hasan has a good grip on language and argument.
@irahoppe3632 UK born Oxford Educated.......knows world politics.

Simple reasoning but factual.
But we replace Israel with Iran and do we have Islamaphobia? How is criticism of Israel be equal to criticism of the Jew. And to be frank Islam had been criticised in manners that are islamaphobic way more than the the religion Judaism has been.

Palestinians are true historical semites. Why do these East Europeans colonialists call themselves semites. They are absolutely not.
Exactly this.
Another great interview by Mehdi, this is what professional journalist do, study your subject, have knowledge of your subject before interviewing your guest. Brilliant
How long ago was this? Mehdi looks 15yrs younger. Either way he did a good job ✅
where is the complete video of this clip ?
they're in the minorty.....lol...Medhi got him after that.
Where is the full video for this
Mahdi shuts them down very well
Uses their own words against them
That “minority” comment & retort was the ultimate 😂😂😂
Does Medhi have a book on thinking clearly? What a brain he has in that head

This is from 2015
Doesn't matter. It's still valid. In fact, it is quite valid now.
Mehdi is the man.
They forget Florida.
Jewish is not a race but a religion
Exactly. A religion and a cultural identity.
19 hours and 9 years ago.
Why do we define the hatred of Jews as 'antisemitism', but the hatred of Arabs as 'Islamophobia'? The first involves hatred, the second, fear. Why? Words have meanings. I don't get it.
What an awful man that Jew, devoid of any humanity
These people are absolutely shameless. They have gotten so used to throwing the accusation around to look the victim they simply can't help themselves.
Mahdi gets him back in his own Answer
That zionist guy is weeping inside his heart
Anti Genocide

Dont debate your master Mehdi Hassan
Don’t debate Medi Hassan because he knows how to handle so called Masters.
So called masters were persecuted all over Europe for centuries.
