semites as a way to refer to Jews comes from the scientific racism movement. and the term antisemitism came from that.

technically, Palestinians are semites so Israel is antisemitic. but by now we are playing so much with the meaning of words those words are useless.

also, calling anything in Israel a gay capital is pure BS propaganda. not only gay marriage isn’t allowed there, the antimiscenegation laws are so strict that many Israeli jews with Russian descend aren’t allowed to get married in Israel.
