The use of the term "anti-semite" is an epithet used by those who are neither Jewish or knowledgeable about what the term means; Arabs are a Semitic tribe and hence any anti-Arab reference could be classified as "anti-Semitic". At one point in Israeli history, Palestinians and Israeli's cooperated in the growing and distribution of the Joffa oranges acknowledged by the world. Then Zionism took root and bullied the Palestinians, cutting off their contributions to the Israeli State.

The corollary to the Zionism of Israel is the "Manifest Destiny" in the United States responsible for the genocide of the Native American, an ungrateful act in that the Native Americans showed the "invaders" how to employ agricultural farming techniques for their survival.

The hurling of the stupid "anti-semite" accusation belies the low level of intelligence of those who use it, those who would call people "communists" or "terrorists" without remorse and showing self-righteous hypocrisy as persecutors themselves.
