Original Note:
The term "semite" was coined by European scholars to refer to peoples of the semitic languages, such as Jews (Hebrew) and Arabs (Arabic). It is now considered obsolete as a racial categorization. Antisemitism was coined in the 19th century to refer to anti-Jewish sentiment. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/antisemitism https://www.britannica.com/topic/Semite
