@lyricismist No, you missed that antisemitic nevertheless means anti-Jewish.
The word was invented by antisemites not by Jews by the way, so go complain to them. Have to dig them up from the ground first, though.

@lyricismist And I literally posted the dictionary definition of anti-semite. It sounds like it should mean against all semites, but it doesn’t mean that, it only means anti-Jewish. You can look it up in a couple of dictionaries, too.

@lyricismist No, as I already told you anti-semites (European ones), not Jews, invented the term. So unless you mean Christianity with the middle-Eastern religion no.
Also you are the one trying to hijack the dictionary meaning of the word anti-semite. Are you a nazi?
