content: The phrase “anti-Semetism” is infuriating not just because Jews constantly say it, but because if we look at the etymology of the word when contrasted with how it is used, it makes it something of a malapropism: The word Semite is derived from Shem, who in the Bible was the father of both the Arabs and the Jews. So, if I am against Jews and someone calls me an Anti-Semite, it is not really an accurate assessment of my sentiments and may lead someone who takes things quite literally that I’m defaming both Arabs and Jews.
