Why would people hate Jews? Why would people hate anyone unless they personally did something to them? I didn't really know what this word meant, I was not raised to know stuff like this. I was raised that people are all people. I use to have some misperceptions about being rich and poor, I think that those are different things, but I think basically as people that all people are humans and have pretty much the same human needs so this is a million miles away from anything that I can perceive.

is hostility toward or prejudice against Jews as a religious, racial, or ethnic group, which can range in expression from individual hatred to institutionalized, violent persecution. While the term's etymology may imply that antisemitism is directed against all Semitic peoples, it is in practice used exclusively to refer to hostility towards Jews. The highly explicit ideology of Adolf Hitler's Nazism was the most extreme example of this phenomenon, leading to the Holocaust.

A Semite is a person whose native language is one of the Semitic languages -- Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, and many others. There has been such hatred and fear of Jews over the centuries that the word came to be used only for Jews. Did you know that Iranians are Persian, not Arabs? Why? Because they don't speak a Semitic language. They speak Farsi. .

Your question means nothing except to show the ignorance of those who failed to grasp the spelling error. A better author
would utilize an automated check of language; unless, of course, this dear lady was being exceedingly diabolical to the ill-starred. Those who responded, correctly using idiom and essence, are exempt from this cleansing.

It means, from the looks of it, as though it's a stance taken, opposing things which are semetic.
Anti Semitic, on the other hand, means in short, being opposed to Jews.
It's all in the spelling, which, in itself is a semantic argument.

An anti-semetic is someone who disdains Jewish people.
