(BTW, Semite historically meant all peoples from that region). How did it come to mean Jews exclusively?

Anti-Semite does not mean "someone who is opposed to Semites." Get a dictionary.

But it has come to mean "Jew hating". Any my dictionary calls it "a person who is hostile to Jews". Does yours specify a different meaning?
