Antisemitism is racism, but specifically against anyone who is either a practising Jew or of the Jewish race. Although Arabs are semitic, the term antisemitism is used to refer specifically to Jews.

This racism takes many forms including conspiracy theories of Jews controlling banks and governments, or a more modern form is to make false or exaggerated stories and claims about the Israel/Palestine conflict, in order to use as a weapon of de-legitimisation against the Jewish state. Or others include simply denying the Holocaust or the Jewish connection to Israel; which is a bit like denying that slavery ever happened or black Americans and Afro-Caribbean people's connection to Africa.
