Well, most shitheads don't know this, but Arabs are Semitic too. Some people use 'anti-Semitic' to describe anti-Arab - as well as anti-Jewish - sentiment.
OK, so some people might not know a fact, how does that make them a shithead?
And it is overtly clear after the first page of this thread that the people in the billboards are jews, or do some shitheads not know how to read?
Clearly the reference of 'anti-semetic' in this case was referring to jews. And I like how arabs are acknowledged as semites when it suits the jews to do so!
And Illuminattile is right, where exactly does Islam come into this? He asked if the billboards are anti-semetic (clearly anyone with a little sense could see that it was reference to jews [9 times out of 10 it is] or maybe arabs). But how is Islam dragged into this. last time I checked there were many Christian semites.
this was the third post in this thread!

In fact, can anyone (who hasn't read about this in the papers/seen it on TV) recognise what it is about the billboards that is anti-Semitic? For those who don't know, both Michael Howard (on the left in this first poster and in the second poster) and Oliver Letwin (on the right in the first poster) are Jewish.
