Aposemitic

Aposemitic (adjective): Describing a neutral stance of avoiding or distancing oneself from Semitic peoples or cultures, without the support of prosemitism or the hostility of antisemitism, occupying a central position between these extremes.

Etymology: Formed from Greek apo- (“away” or “from”) and Semitic (denoting peoples like Jews or Arabs, from biblical Shem), coined as a pun on aposematic (biological warning signals) by replacing sema (“sign”) with Semitic.
Example Sentence: She was aposemitic, steering clear of Semitic cultural events but not acting violently toward them.
