    Palestinians are semites too, how can supporting semites be anti-semitic?

      That sounds like one of those “I can’t be racist against African Americans since all of us are from Africa originally” lines.

      You know what is meant by the word and words are defined by usage not by origin.

      because your defintion of the word is wrong. Here is the worldwide accepted definition of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism

      Antisemitism (also spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism)[a] is hostility to, prejudice towards, or discrimination against Jews.[2][3][4] This sentiment is a form of racism,[5][6] and a person who harbours it is called an antisemite.

      and especially regarding your statement:

      Though ‘antisemitism’ could be construed as prejudice against people who speak other Semitic languages, this is not how the term is commonly used.
