OT: Antisemitism and whatnot

[Guest guest]

>I'll bite: just who are Semites? And if one group of Semites are

>opposed to another group does that make them anti-Semitic?

Per dictionary.com:

" Sem·ite n.

1. A member of a group of Semitic-speaking peoples of the Near

East and northern Africa, including the Arabs, Arameans, Babylonians,

Carthaginians, Ethiopians, Hebrews, and Phoenicians.

2. A Jew.

3. Bible. A descendant of Shem. "

However, the term " anti-semitism " has come to mean specifically

discrimination and prejudice against Jews. Dr. Day's lunatic ranting

plainly qualifies.
