Since Arabs are Semitic why does anti-semite mean anti-Jewish?
The term Semite means a member of any ancient and modern peoples originating in the middle east. (hence languages from that region are called semitic languages)The word "Semite" is an adjective derived from the word shem which means name in Hebrew- it is also the name of one of Noah's sons.The term "anti-Semite" was made famous in 1873 by a German journalist wilhelm marr who wrote an anti-jewish pamphlet called, "The Victory of Jewry over Germandom"Since then the term 'Anti Semite' has been associated specifically with jews and has come to mean anti-jew.Judaism is just a religion. Hebrew is a semitic race of the Jewish religion. Hebrew is an arab race related to the medianite arabs and other semites. In the bible, Arab is mention but only as a people of a language or tribe (example: germanic is race or language in europe but they resemble all other european people). Most jews resemble white people. This tells me they are just white (just religion not race)If arab is semite, all other semite should look arab. Arab is ancient semitic tribe who colonized other semites around the beginning of Islam and spread culture and religion.For example, people in Chad don't speak arabic, but we are arabs. They are semits who obviously were not linguistically colonized (not all people of the same race speak same language, arab is a modern collective term).____The meaning of a word is its use, not its etymology. The term 'anti-semitism' is only used of people who are anti-Jewish. There are no actual examples of the use of the terms 'anti-semitic' and/or 'anti-semitism' to denote hostility to Arabs, for example.Anti-semitism has NOTHING to do with prejudice against Arabs - it's just a fancy term, invented in the 1870s, for Jew-baiting.Traditional anti-semitism was based on religion, not race. It might be better to call it anti-Judaism, but usage prefers 'antisemitism'.The period from about 1870 onwards saw the rise of racial anti-semitism. It relied heavily on conspiracy theories and unlike traditional anti-semitism it claimed to the be a political ideology, an '-ism' with solutions to the world's problems. If one looks at the characteristics ascribed to Jews by antisemites it's clear that the ideology is fundamentally anti-modern and irrational.
