Nah, my argument is that people will say that Arabs are anti-Semitic without realizing that the Arabs in question are Semitic. Clearly, they don't hate themselves. They're anti-Jewish or anti-Israel, not anti-Semitic.

Semitic at its core is a language group developed from an Abrahamic concept (Shem, the son of Noah, is believed to be the ancestor of these groups) that has been extended to include various cultures and ethnicities. The definition was narrowed because of the prevalence of Jewish people in Europe as opposed to other Semitic people. When speaking of Semites, there was no need to further identify them as Jews. This has led to people thinking that semitic can only refer to those of the Jewish faith, which isn't true. It really only makes sense to use anti-Semitic in a context where the group doing the discrimination is not also Semitic.

If an Arab hates Jews, he's anti-Semitic.
