Definition: Anti-Semitism (alternatively spelled antisemitism) is hostility towards or prejudice against Jews (not, in common usage, Semites in general).
Why is there such a word? why don't we have antiNative Americans, antieuropeans, antianglos, antiidians, antichristians, antiatheists, antiitalians or any other anti- whatever. There is opposition to all of these and many more, why don't we have antipalestinian?
Is this a matter of selfagrandation in order to label anybody that is against this particular group of people?
