British police have launched a criminal investigation into a performance by rap-punk duo Bob Vylan at the Glastonbury Festival on Saturday, when the group led chants of “death to the IDF,” or Israel Defense Forces.
I wonder what the term is for anti-palestinian? The equivalent to anti-Semite but for Muslims I guess? Just Islamophobia? That doesn’t have a good ring to it. We need a good term to use that Palestinians can play the racist card with for the next 100 years like Israel does.
Whatever it is, the only way to win this battle is for people to start using that new word to call out people who are quite obviously hateful. With enough use of the word over the years, it will have the same shameful effect as what they have done with the word the other side uses

Not sure, but on a side point I reject any “anti semitism” claim because:
usually its just used to try to silence you
they’re the ones anti semitic because Palestinians and arabs are semitic.
So maybe actually we should re-purpose antisemitism.
TIL. Thank you.
Good question. It’s a venn diagram of Islamophobia, anti-Arab racism, and anti-Palestinian hate.
