If I were writing in 1900, I would say no, because back then, Jews, Arabs, Turks, Italians, and Egyptians were generally classified as their own races. Today, people who believe that race matters have settled on a much smaller number of races, things like African, European, east Asian, and Melanesian. The trouble with that is that there are no hard and fast boundaries between those races. You can point to typical examples of each, but real people can fall anywhere in between.
the second problem with this question is that Semitic is a classification for a group of languages in the Afro-Asiatic language group. Without a doubt, Arabic and Hebrew are closely related languages. They share essentially the same alphabet (but Hebrew print is a square block print and Arabic is always presented in cursive, so you might not notice this). Huge numbers of words are essentially the same in Arabic and Hebrew (consider "shalom" versus "salaam").
Finally, Judaism and Islam both allow conversion, Jews tend to blend in with their neighbors over the generations, and you'll find similar differences between eastern Arabs, southern Arabs and Western Arabs.

We Jews are indeed natives of Western Asia, as DNA tests have shown; and we have never concealed or denied that fact.
