    No because “semite” isn’t really a thing. It’s a social construct, a semite was how someone got seen by white society back when institutional antisemitism was a thing. Regardless of actual genetics or whatever. And zionists favored a lot of indigenous Jews in the WANA region in order to get them on their side and split the society their from. See for example algerian jews[1].

    By granting citizenship to Algerian Jews, the French believed the local Jews would forgo their traditions, and become loyal to France. The intent was rapid acculturation of Algerian Jews into French Jews.

    Zionism is a Jewish Supremacist movement. And yes it will not take kindly to people standing in its way, jew or gentile. It’s also a white supremacist movement, as can be seen on how euro jews and non-euro jews get treated, but at its core it is a jewish supremacist movement.

    There are similar divisions within white supremacist movements on who is “really white”, that doesn’t really make them anti-white.

      Considering some group useful for a time and purpose doesn’t change antisemitism. For example, how Bedouin are treated in Israel.
