    because your defintion of the word is wrong. Here is the worldwide accepted definition of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism

    Antisemitism (also spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism)[a] is hostility to, prejudice towards, or discrimination against Jews.[2][3][4] This sentiment is a form of racism,[5][6] and a person who harbours it is called an antisemite.

    and especially regarding your statement:

    Though ‘antisemitism’ could be construed as prejudice against people who speak other Semitic languages, this is not how the term is commonly used.

      The word is completely wrong, not his definition. Not all semites are Jews. The semites are a race of people that originate from the region of Palestine including Arabs. Arab is a Semitic language.

      If anything the Palestinians look a lot more like Semites than the Zionists from Europe.

      It’s like saying being anti-black would mean you hate Christians because some black people in Africa used to be Christian.

      Then they should use a different word, and stop hiding behind it to escape legitimate criticism.

        this is a worldwide (!) accepted and established defintion of the word, but because you dont want to use it in it’s correct definition everybody else should change?
