The Israeli regime's warplanes fired a number of missiles towards targets in the outskirts of the Syrian capital Damascus, some of which were intercepted and destroyed by the Syrian armed forces' air defense.
Hey thanks for this. You are correct that I was confused. I had falsely believed that calling Jews “dogs” was a long anti-Semitic tradition. I did more research and discovered that actually historically they were called rats and lice and very few examples exist of anti-semitics tropes comparing Jews and dogs.
The most salient example of that was an American trend to hang a sign on your shop that said “No Jews or dogs allowed”, but that doesn’t meet the standard of what I had believed.
What? Dog in reference to “Jewish” people has always been towards the gentiles, it even shows up in the Bible.
Dog is a basic insult and not a slur or antisemitic. History and linguistics does not agree with you.
Here’s Cambridge even saying the same.
