content: Who are the Semitic peoples? Semite, person speaking one of a group of related languages, presumably derived from a common language, Semitic (see Semitic languages). The term came to include Arabs, Akkadians, Canaanites, some Ethiopians, and Aramaean tribes including Hebrews. If Jews kill Palestinian Arabs.....isn't that anti-semitic, as well?? Shut it down, boys.
