Whatever you call it the priority is to get rid of it.

I've definitely come across thebterm being used to refer to both types on many occasions over the years, typically by Jews protesting against prejudice against Arabs. And the two types of prejudice seem to have a lot in common to me, the cartoons sometimes look quite remarkably similar, and there's the coded language and so forth.

It may be that there has been some drift in the meaning attached to the word in different places.

I think Dr Zogby's article in Sojourner Magazine puts it pretty well -and Sourdough, he doesn't compare the popular culture depiction of Arabs in the USA in the 70s and 8Os with Nazi Germany, but with pre-Nazi Germany. (And he sounds a pretty reputable man - I'd have thought the right word, Sourdough, wouldn't be self-serving, but consistent.)

(And Wolfgang, I'm sure you don't mean to imply that any of the sites I've linked to in this thread are anti-Jewish, but "sites directly supporting the Arab cause. The site McGrath has linked to is a prime example" might give people that impression. So far as I can see Sojourners position is to support Jews and Arabs in Israel and Palestine who are working for reconciliation and peace.)

But as I said earlier, the important things isn't what to call this kind of hate, but to work to eliminate it, and that is something we all are surely agreed needs to be done.
