Semitic

Family of related languages long spoken across part of western Asia and northern Africa. In antiquity these languages included Hebrew, Aramaic, and Phoenician. The most wide–spread modern member of the Semitic family is Arabic.

As early as 2900 B.C.E., personal names recorded in inscriptions from the northerly cities reveal a non-Sumerian Semitic language.

semitic

Semitic is an adjective which in common parlance mistakenly refers specifically to Jewish things, while the term actually refers to things originating among speakers of Semitic languages or people descended from them, and in a linguistic context to the northeastern subfamily of Afro-Asiatic.

Both Arabs and Jews are semites.

Semitic

Originally referring to a family languages that include Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, Amrahic, Akkadian, Phoenician, etc, and peoples and cultures historically associated with the languages. Which includes the ancient civilizations in the Middle East and their modern descendants. The term comes from Shem, one of the three sons of sons of Noah in the book of Genesis.

So yes, Arabs are semites. However, the term antisemitism refers to prejudice/hatred towards the Jews, as defined in the dictionary and used by most of people. However, the term itself was invented by an anti-Jewish bigot.

Hatred against Arabs is called anti-arabism, or anti arab settlement.

One may hate Jews but not neccessarily hate semitic people, however when they do they usually do, if they’re white/anglo saxon/east asian or anything but arab or semitic

Jews and Arabs are semitic people.

semitic armor 

Creating morally and ethically perverse media content for mass distribution and getting away with it by claiming anti semitism if anyone says anything negative about it; or,

Funding universities to allow a disproportionate number of Jewish students and when test scores and grades are made public it shows the Jewish students were unqualified but claiming anti semitism against the facts; or,

Bombing people, using next generation military equipment to kill and usurp land of poor people while claiming anti semitism if you say anything against it

Basically doing anything you want because you control media and legal enforcement

Sometimes, I wish I had semitic armor to get away with murder. Not really though, I don't have an evil gene.
