Maybe a little. Arabs are also Semites and they seem to be well represented.

The year before Anwar Sadat was murdered, Barbara Walters was interviewing Sadat and asked him why he was anti-Semitic. He responded that to be anti-Semitic would mean that he hated himself, because most Egyptians and Arabs are Semites.
Needless to say, Walters looked like an idiot.

We all know “antisemitic” means “anti-Jew.” The UN and the democrat party share in that “Hitler was almost completely wrong but the we will hang on to the ‘hating Jews’ part. That part we like.”

As you say...

Great point! I always thought “Anti-Semitic” was just a fancy way of saying anti-Jewish, yawned and moved on.

Sem·ite
noun
a member of any of the peoples who speak or spoke a Semitic language, including in particular the Jews and Arabs.

Why does ANYONE even use this worthless word?

The most widely spoken Semitic language today is Arabic, followed by Amharic, Tigrinya, and Hebrew.

Hebrew not even in the top three! So Jews that don’t speak Hebrew are OKAY? /s

Liberals banned the words “jungle” and “bum”, I want to ban “Anti-Semitic”.

Antisemite does not mean "against Semites." The term was coined to mean hatred of Jews, and in German racial hatred of Jews, as opposed to the medieval religious Judenhass.

Jew-Hating is a clearer term than anti-Semitic for some pedants.
