My newer dictionary doesn't mention anything except anti-Jewish. That's because "anti-semitic" really only means "anti-Jewish" in common usage any more. Anyway, what do they say about the etymology of the word "semite"? Probably that it's a variant of the earlier "shemite", which it is ;)

I had a lot of respect for Pat many years ago. And, he has a few (many) points about illegal immigration. But when he bashes Israel nonstop, I'm outta there.
