We can not realistically talk of anti-semitism in biblical times. The various nations of the ancient Near East warred against each other from time to time, but for secular reasons such as power, prestige, greed or revenge, not because of religious bigotry. At times, Israel's neighbours invaded Israel; at other times Israel invaded its neighbours. Moreover, Israel's neighbours were themselves Semitic people - including the Canaanites, Itureans, Moabites, Edomites and Aramaeans. Anti-semitism is a meaningless term in that context.
