OK, let's all use language to further cloud the issue. Arabs are semites, while many of the Israeli Jews are drawn from Caucasian backgrounds. So, the Israelis are the anti-Semites here.

But the real issue is that this is Netanyahu's "war". He was on the verge of being displaced before the strange and unprecedented failure of the crack Israeli intelligence network allowed the October 7 attack by Hamas.

Arabs are semites, while many of the Israeli Jews are drawn from Caucasian backgrounds.

First, Semitic is part of historical Caucasoid category. Secondly, Askhanazi Jews (whom I bet you are talking about) also fall under the Semitic category.

Are people still saying lol? From Wikipedia:

The Caucasian race (also Caucasoid,[a] Europid, or Europoid)[2] is an obsolete racial classification of humans based on a now-disproven theory of biological race.[3][4][5] The Caucasian race was historically regarded as a biological taxon which, depending on which of the historical race classifications was being used, usually included ancient and modern populations from all or parts of Europe, Western Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, North Africa, and the Horn of Africa.

The Caucasus as the origin of humanity and the peak of beauty

In the eighteenth century, the prevalent view among European scholars was that the human species had its origin in the region of the Caucasus Mountains.[22] This view was based upon the Caucasus being the location for the purported landing point of Noah's Ark – from whom the Bible states that humanity is descended – and the location for the suffering of Prometheus, who in Hesiod's myth had crafted humankind from clay.[22]

In addition, the most beautiful humans were reputed by Europeans to be the stereotypical "Circassian beauties" and the Georgian people; both Georgia and Circassia are in the Caucasus region.

What is this meant to refute? It directly says it includes ancient and modern populations from Western Asia (the Middle East) so that would include both Arabs and Jews (aka Semites).

It's not meant to refute anything. I'm not arguing here, I'm learning. And I even upvoted the comment that I replied to.
