Phoenicians = Hebrews = Edomites = Moabites = Ammonites. One language, one people.

'I admit I hate Jews as an ethnic group but as they are not Semitic, I am not anti-Semitic.' I inb4'd you. Basically you're bitching about terminology like a true whiny twat. Accept that etymology sometimes produces slightly confusing words and move on. The definition of anti-Semitic is anti-Jewish; that's what the person who coined the term intended it to mean. If it hurts you so much to use it (there are about 3,000 other words you should also stop using, for similar reasons, including, for instance, 'girl,' which never used to mean 'female' at all) then fine, you're racist against Jewish people.

Look, this is incredibly stupid. At least half of Israeli Jews are not even European. This has been explained to you many times before.

As for the ones that are European, they are heavily Levantine in origin, regardless of your definition of 'Semitic.'

Do you know why the Bible distinguishes between Canaanites and Israelites?

The Bible creates entire histories in order to promote and safeguard the cult of Yah and the idea of Israelite exceptionalism.
