Antisemitism
Hatred of Jews or Jewish people.
Although some may interpret this word to mean discrimination against all “Semitic” peoples, this is not true. The word was originally coined by antisemites themselves as a more palatable way of saying “Jew hate” (Judenhass).
There are Semitic languages (Arabic/Hebrew/etc) but the concept of a “Semitic” race is nonexistent and has its roots in Nazi race ‘science’ . The word “antisemitism” has always been used specifically to refer to the hatred of Jews.
