      Aren’t both Israelis and Palestinians part of the group known as Semitic people?

        Not really used as a term anymore outside of anti-semite meaning anti-jew

        But yes, they are both in the Middle East

        Technically yes, although the term “anti-Semitic” (as the German word Antisemitismus) originally became established through specifically anti-Jewish conspiracy writings in the late 1800s. So the term “anti-semitic” generally means anti-Jewish, rather than literally being against Semitic peoples.
