it would surprise me if anyone took anything that you ever said seriously.

I've recently detected anti-Welshism and pro-Welsh threads should be unlocked. :)

I have spent the past few moments checking out some of your website.

In view of that, it would surprise me if anyone took anything that you ever said seriously. So, I apologize to you sir. You are not a racist. Just a fool.

Most Muslims are Semites too.

I agree it is pro Palestinian,

But had no idea the anger it would draw. I sometimes post data that will get a conversation rolling. I believe this video was not a good choice to begin with. I apologize for it and will probably delete it from my website as soon as my database guys is done upgrading my site.

Most Muslims are Semites too.

Not quite, if we're talking ethnicity, "Arabs account for around 20% of all Muslims worldwide" with most Muslims coming from regions of Asia with little or no Semitic ancestry. For that matter, a sizeable portion of Jews are not descended from Semites either, for example, of the 8 million or so Ashkenazi Jews about 60% cannot trace their mitochondiral DNA back to the Middle East, that is their maternal bloodlines do not have Semitic ancestry.

As there are Christian Arabs (and quite likely Bhuddist Arabs, atheist Arabs and the rest), it follows that there are also ethnically Semitic Christians (etc.) too.

Having said that I have to agree with wikipedia when it goes on to say "[anti-Semitism] is in practice used exclusively to refer to hostility towards Jews as a religious, racial, or ethnic group". So while there may be others that are ethnically Semitic, hostility towards non-Jewish Semites is not considered anti-Semitism, whereas hostility towards non-Semitic Jews is anti-Semitism.

As for the video linked at the start of this thread, while certainly distasteful, I'm not completely sure it is anti-Semitic, though it seems pretty clear it's pro-Palestinian and anti-Israeli.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data

Data in everyday language is a synonym for information.[1] In the exact sciences there is a clear distinction between data and information, where data is a measurement that can be disorganized and when the data becomes organized it becomes information. Data may relate to reality, or to fiction as in a fictional movie. Data about reality consists of propositions. A large class of practically important propositions are measurements or observations of a variable. Such propositions may comprise numbers, words or images.

Reminds me of the misinterpretations and missed distinctions between morals and ethics.

On the other side: Pro-Palestinian does not necessary mean anti-Israeli or anti-Jewish.

I had some good friends of both sides (Israelis and Palestinians) and they told me, that these nations have not always been fighting each other. Jews and Palestinians even lived as neighbors for several time until one of these Israel wars which then made them enemies. But (and this gives me hope) there are some towns in Israel where Palestinians and Israeli live peacefully side by side.
