Why is it called anti-Semitism and not anti-Judaism?

The words antisemitism and antisemite were coined in the late 19th century to replace the older German word "judenhass" which means "hatred of Jews." The idea was to create a modern scientific-sounding term that could be used in polite society and was in line with the then-current ideas of scientific racism. The man who coined the word was himself a proud antisemite. The entire idea of the coinage shifted the discussion from opposing Judaism as a religion to opposing Jews as a race. It is very clear that right-wing antisemites today continue to define Jews as a race, exactly in line with the original intent of this term.


Who coined the word antisemitism?

The invention of the word antisemtism (Germnan: Antisemitismus) is attributed to Wilhelm Marr (1819-1904). He was a German antisemite, who founded his own anti-Jewish party in 1879. He was fed up with being called a Jew-baiter (German: Judenhetzer). He also wanted to make it clear that his hatred of the Jews was racial, not just religious and claimed that he, too, had an -ism or ideology to solve all the world's problems. (The word Antisemit (German for antisemite) is first appeared in print slightly earlier, in 1865. The word is odd as it suggests that there is such a thing as "*semitism" that antisemites are opposed to. Like many in the 19th century, Marr named ethnic groups after languages families. However, there are no instances on record of antisemitism being used to describe hatred of others who speak a Semitic language.


What does anti-Jewish mean?

Anti-Jewish is usually used to describe opinions that are opposed to Jewish religion, practice, beliefs, or aspirations. This is in contrast to Anti-Semitic which is usually used to describe opinions that are opposed to Jewish people.

Why was Martin Luther King Jr. named after an anti-Semite?

Indeed, Martin Luther, the founder of the Lutheran Church, was an anti-Semite, but like many people with deep flaws, he also did other things. Anti-semitism was not a central feature of Lutheran belief or of his life's work, and in the pre-World-War-II era when King was born, many people were not aware of Martin Luther's antisemitism, while just about everyone knew of his role in the Protestant Reformation. There is no doubt that King's parents named him for Martin Luther in his role as a reformer, not for his role as an antisemite.
