Original Note:
While the term Semitic does refer to all sorts of groups, (most notably arabs and jews) the term anti-Semitic refers to hatred or prejudice against jews and has no actual connection to the term Semitic. The term was coined in 19th century Germany in anti jewish campaigns. https://www.britannica.com/topic/anti-Semitism https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803095417471
