the Middle East are descendants of Shem. Thus, "anti-Semitism" would include anti-Arab bigotry. The Jews, of course, are the biggest anti-Arab bigots to be found.

Wilhelm Marr in 1879, founded the "League of Antisemites" in Germany, in order to stir up hatred against Jews. The rest is history. Through the ages, it has been a code-word for Jew hatred and was never used against Arabs.
Calling the Jews "the biggest anti-Arab bigots" is itself an anti-Semitic slur. Many Jews and Israelis have devoted their lives to peace with Arab neighbors.

Ignorance tends to be comical -- doesn't it.
First, people need to understand the definition of semite. Semite is a language spoken by a group of people:
1. A member of a group of Semitic-speaking peoples of the Near East and northern Africa, including the Arabs, Arameans, Babylonians, Carthaginians, Ethiopians, Hebrews, and Phoenicians.
With that definition, logic states that being anti-semitic means to hate people who speak a certain type of language mainly directed towards the Jews. So, if you hate people of the Jewish faith and embrace the term anti-semitic and you're an Arab or Arameans or Ethiopian or etc., then you in essence are hating yourself which, is illogical.
So, if the Jews hate the Arabs and the Arabs hate the Jews then they each are hating themselves. Each are decendants of the 12 tribes of Israel and speak a semitic language.

It is true that many of the people of the Middle East are anti-make sense of anything, anti common sense, anti grandmothers and fathers wishes, anti love and peace, anti hugs and hand shakes, and anti all the good things about life.
It seems to me the the predecessors of the people of Middle East including all of them are acting as if they are the descendants of hatred!

hahahahaha.
well I wouldn't want to generalize the entire Jewish population, but certainly the Israeli government are the biggest anti-Arab biggots to be found.
Good point, even the language Christ spoke - Arameian was a Semitic language. There are a lot of semitic cultural groups that are not Jewish.
