Lepus Rex- Yes, Arabic and Hebrew are Semitic Languages. Yes Arabs and Jews are a Semitic peoples who trace their lineage to a common ancestor, Abraham. That does not negate the fact that the common and historic use of the term Anti-Semite or Anti-Semitic refers to Jews and Judaism. It has been a term so understood until today. You and others can choose to broaden the term, and you can also call a cat a dog, but it won't make tabby into fido. Some folks broaden the term out of ignorance of history; some for reasons of their own agenda. I believe that the former is the case with my fellow Mudcatters. Wolfgang - thanks for that link. I really need to use the web more, but I am still much book-bound.
