anti-semitic
The root word of semite is Shem, who was one of the sons of Noah. So a Semite is a descendent of Shem. It also pertains to a common language origin. With modern DNA analysis, it is known that less than half of the jews living in Isreal are semites, whereas most of the arabs of the region are. Classic double-speak !
