Even supposing you're right (and you're not), it doesn't change the fact that an 'antisemite' is someone who is against Jews. Not Arabs, Mesopotamians, Americans or hedgehogs - just Jews.
I know anti-semitism is prejudice or hatred against jews.
That's why I think it's a bad term.
But could you please explain to me what a semite is then?
