The word antisemitic is slightly older and the first reference dates from 1865. The word antisemitism dates from 1879. The antisemitic word means anti-Jewish. The term antisemitism was first used by Wilhelm Marr for his anti-Jewish political movement. He was fed up with being called a Jew-baiter (Judenhetzer) and wanted to show the world that he, too, had an ideology or -ism to solve the world's problems.

Anti-Semitism refers to prejudice, discrimination, or hostility against Jewish people. The term was first coined in the 19th century by German political agitator Wilhelm Marr to describe hatred and hostility toward Jews as a distinct social and racial group.

Does Anti-Semitism refer to Jews?

Antisemitism as it is used in the English language today refers to discrimination against Jews. While Arabs (and certain others) are also Semitic peoples, the English term "antisemitism" was coined (around 1860) to refer to discrimination against Jews. Antisemitism was designed to sound much more scientific, and therefore more acceptable, than the common term for this hatred of Jews "Judenhass" (which literally means "Jew-hatred" in German).
