if an Arab hates a Jew does that make him anti Semitic?

Answer 1

What do you mean [ If ] The children of Abraham hate everybody even themselves

Answer 2

Arabs are Semites too, so that's a bit ridiculous. Although of course "anti-Semitic" is generally used selectively to refer to "Jews".

One reason you don't hear the epithet used that way is that "anti-Semitic" has been tied to the visceral European Jew-hatred that so infected Russia and Germany, and the Arabs' hatred is new and different. Indeed, Arabs and Muslims barely acknowledge today that Mohammed himself preferred the Jews to the Christians and labelled Judiaism as the "better religion" of the two. (This has the curious result that if a Christian marries a Jew, under Islam the children are Jewish, and this irrespective of whether the mother is Jewish or not. Under Halachia, Jewish law, it is the mother whose religion is transmitted, never the father.)

Answer 3

The term Arabic,these days relates to a language,not a race.The Semitic tribes evolved in the region known these days as Saudi Arabia.In other words the guys who committed 9/11 are exactly the same race of people as those currently bombing Lebanon.The Lebanese are not Arabs,they are Aryan.If a Morrocan hates a Saudi Arabian who is muslim,he is anti semitic.Jews are made up of all races of people,including Aryan.The simple answer to your question is no.

Answer 4

Both are semites so the arab cannot be antisemitic unless he hates both arabs and jews. .

Answer 5

yes. ALthough semite actually refrs to arabs as well, it is used only to refer to the jews. therefore if someone hates the jews, he is considered an anti-semite.

Answer 6

It can not be both are Semitic its hard for a hillbilly to understand right

Answer 7

if it is only one Jew, it does not, if it is ALL Jews or THE MAJORITY of Jews, it does make him antisemitic...

Answer 8
