Nope...I addressed it in my post.

Only the Jews believe it's Jew Hating. If you mentioned antisemetic to an
Arab, they wouldn't be thinking Jew.

BS...How else can you know what the word means?

So would the dictionaries. Antisemite hasn't.

Another word that has been hijacked to mean something altogether from what
