From my understanding implies the meaning of anti-semitism hatred against Jews and Arabs (cause they´re both semits). And even if it does only mean Jews, I wouldn´t call Fischer an anti-semite, because of two reasons:
1. I don´t believe that his actions then were directed against the Jewish people but the Jewish state (in other words: that he didn´t blame the Jews because of their religion but because of their policy regarding the Arabs).
2. He has changed and became a democrat, who respects and defends the human rights, our democratic Republic and the sovereignty of the peoples (including Israel).
But if you differ with that, feel free. He´s my minister, and I don´t think he´s doing well, but because of other reasons. I don´t call him an anti-semite, and I got used to the idea that politicans have married more than one time. The mayors of Berlin and Hamburg are gay, who cares about the private life of them? I judge them on what they do at work!

Did you ever read Billiards at Half Past Nine? One of the things I got out of that book was that some of the "respectable" people can actually be the biggest criminals.
