"Semites" includes Moslems as well as Jews. People think Antisemitism is the same thing as Anti-Jewish. 'Tain't so.

It's a term coined by a 19th century German politician, Wilhelm Marr, for the name of his political party, with the specific meaning of Jew hatred.

Stop splitting hairs. We know what it means in this particular context. How many anti Semites hate Arabs? Nearly none of them do.

"Anti-Semite" is not the opposite of "Semite."

Well race does not include Asian or Hispanics.. But the word has evolved with common usage. Same for antisemitism.
