Sinat-Yisrael
So I'm sick of this argument that our cousins, the arabs use, that they are Semites and so Anti-Semitism = anti-arab. What is even worse is that they aren't 100% wrong (in this particular argument )
Link to this: 13:36 
Although the connotation is specific Anti-Semite is such a, ambiguous term, due to the fact that it is disputed who is a semite.
From Wikipedia:
"Semitic is an adjective referring to the peoples who have traditionally spoken Semitic languages or to things pertaining to them."
"The concept of a "Semitic" people is derived from Biblical accounts of the origins of the cultures known to the ancient Hebrews. Those closest to them in culture and language were generally deemed to be descended from their forefather Shem. Enemies were often said to be descendents of his cursed brother Ham. In Genesis 10:21-31 Shem is described as the father of Aram, Asshur, and others: the Biblical ancestors of the Arameans, Assyrians, Babylonians, Phoenicians, Punians, Chaldeans, Sabaeans, and Hebrews, etc., all of whose languages are closely related; the linguistic family containing them was therefore named Semitic by linguists. However, the Canaanites and Amorites also spoke a language belonging to this family, and are therefore also termed Semitic in linguistics despite being described in Genesis as sons of Ham (See Sons of Noah). Shem is also described in Genesis as the father of the Elamites and the Far Eastern descendants of Lud, whose languages were not Semitic."
Why not say what we really mean. Why say Anti-Semitism instead of Sinat-Yisrael ( Hatred of jews) ? Why say Anti-Semite instead of Jew Hater ? Maybe we are just in the habit of this from the time of the crusades, when those who tried to kill the jews also attacked the arabs.
I think we would get rid of a lot of ambiguity if we started being clear and saying that Aint-Zionisim = Anti-Jew . Then we also can stop arguing about semantics and get to the point!
"So, I urge you to spread this very helpful suggestion to create awareness of the criminal psychopathic abuse of the very legitimate term, "anti-Semitism," by racist fanatics whose main reason for living is to exterminate all Semites."( J. Bruce Campbell JBC@wealthkeeper.net )
