Why is anti-semitism always in a Jewish context?
Years ago, Barbara Walters interviewed Anwar Sadat and asked him if he was anti-semitic.
His answer was that to be anti-semitic would be to hate himself, since Jews, Egyptians and Arabs are all semitic people. Walters had egg on her face for this one.
I love seeing liberals showing their ignorance to the world.
Will do, tom
However, in the 20th century and certainly in the 21st. anti-Semitism specifically refers to hatred towards Jews.
