Do they not realize that Palestinians are semites?

Because if you don't blindly side with or even think about criticizing Israel you are anti-Semitic , according to the internet.

Tell me Im not the only one who read that as Palpetine. I scratched my head for a minute wondering what the galactic empire has against Jews
