Yes. Arabs are a Semitic people.

However, the use of the term "Anti-Semite" refers exclusively to Jews. There is no term for someone who hates all Middle Easterners.

What is the difference between Semitic and Arabic Tribes?

Arabs are just one group of Semites. They have effectively replaced almost all other groups of Semites, but there do remain Assyrians, Babylonians, Chaldeans, Maronites, Jews, and other Semitic groups.


Were Muslims safe in Germany during the holocaust?

Jews are not the sole group of Semites. Arabs, Armenians, Ahmara and Other groups are also Semites. It is a term that has been hijacked by Jews to use against other Semites, to be 'special' and to gain sympathy from non-Semites. " The term Semitic is often mistakenly used to describe attributes pertaining to Hebrew or Jewish culture," according to Classroom website.


Are Jews the only semitic people on earth?

No. The Semites include the ancient Assyrians, Elamites, Arameans, Lyddians, and other Semitic peoples. One group of Semites gave rise to the Arabs, Hebrews, Moabites, Ammonites, Edumeans and others.


Why do Arabs are different than others . Or aren't they?

I am not entirely sure what you are asking, but there are similarities and differences in all racial groups. Asians, Caucasians, Semites, and what used to be called Negroes are all different in their skin color or their facial features (their eyes, or their lips, for example). Thus, Arabs, who are Semites, look different from, let's say, Asians. The subject of Anthropology delves into these differences and studies how people in different cultures live. But if you are asking why Arabs are treated differently, it depends on the country. Some countries have prejudice against people who look different or come from a different country or practice a different religion. And it should also be said that Arabs, like any other group, are human beings who are worthy of respect and compassion. All human groups, no matter what their race or religion, share a need for family, a means of making a living, sufficient food, and security.


What is the population of Arabs?

What is the morphology of anti-semitism?

It was coined by Wilhelm Marr in 1873 as a more "scientific" way of describing Judenhass (Jew-hatred). It was based on the idea that Jews are Semites as opposed to Germanic peoples and it was this biological difference that made Jews "incompatible" with German society.It is worth noting that Marr was not thinking about non-Jewish Semites, like Arabs, when he coined the term. He was using to specifically refer to Jews.


Why is Iran not an Arab country?

As concerns Arabs:Arabs are people of the Middle East that are united by a common language: Arabic, and a common history: the Islamic Caliphates. Arabs are not necessarily of the same ethnic stock and in many cases are of mixed heritage due to intermarriage between the Arabs coming up from the Arabian Peninsula and indigenous Semites and Berbers. Not all Arabs are Muslim, but all Arabs have (in their history) spent time under an Islamic government.As concerns Iranians:The overwhelming majority of Iranians do not speak Arabic (less than 5% do) and actually speak Farsi or Persian (same language). They have a much longer civilized history than the Arabs, stretching back to the Ancient Persian Empires from 6000 years ago. The Persians are the dominant ethnic group in Iran and are Caucasians as opposed to Semites. There are also large minorities of Azeris (who are a Turkic People) and Kurds (who are a Semitic-Caucasian hybrid). While most Iranians are Muslim, this is really the only trait they share with Arabs.
