TW>***
TW>The term "anti-Semitic" (or "anti-Semite")
usually refers to Jews only.
TW>It was coined in 1879 by German journalist Wilhelm Marr in a pamphlet
TW>called, "The Victory of Germandom over Jewry". Using ideas
of race and
TW>nationalism, Marr argued that Jews had become the first major power in
TW>the West. He accused them of being liberals, a people without roots who
TW>had Judaized Germans beyond salvation. In 1879 Marr founded the "League
TW>for Anti-Semitism".

As it says, Jews didn't invent the term "anti-Semitic" to refer to
Jew-haters.  Just as "black" ("colored") people didn't
invent the name
black to call themselves, and white to refer to light-skinned people who
aren't white.
