As Semites is a term for an ethnic, cultural or racial group associated with people of the Middle East and the Horn of Africa including Arab and Israeli people, this must be added to the list.

Whether that term is correct, it is most certainly genocide. |  |

Antisemitism has nothing to do with “semites”. But you already know this and your post is pure baiting.

“ In April 2015, the IHRA’s Committee on Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial addressed the issue of how to spell antisemitism.
The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) would like to address the spelling of the term “antisemitism,” often rendered as “anti-Semitism.” The IHRA’s concern is that the hyphenated spelling allows for the possibility of something called “Semitism,” which not only legitimizes a form of pseudo-scientific racial classification that was thoroughly discredited by association with Nazi ideology, but also divides the term, stripping it from its meaning of opposition and hatred toward Jews.
The philological term ‘Semitic’ referred to a family of languages originating in the Middle East whose descendant languages today are spoken by millions of people mostly across Western Asia and North Africa. Following this semantic logic, the conjunction of the prefix “anti” with “Semitism” indicates antisemitism as referring to all people who speak Semitic languages or to all those classified as “Semites.” The term has, however, since its inception referred to prejudice against Jews alone.
In the mid-nineteenth century, the derived construct “Semite” provided a category to classify humans based on racialist pseudo-science. At the same time the neologism “antisemitism,” coined by German journalist Wilhelm Marr in 1879 to designate anti-Jewish campaigns, was spread through use by anti-Jewish political movements and the general public. The modern term gained popularity in Germany and Europe incorporating traditional Christian anti-Judaism, political, social and economic anti-Jewish manifestations that arose during the Enlightenment in Europe, and a pseudo-scientific racial theory that culminated in Nazi ideology in the twentieth century. Although the historically new word only came into common usage in the nineteenth century, the term antisemitism is today used to describe and analyze past and present forms of opposition or hatred towards Jews. In German, French, Spanish and many other languages, the term was never hyphenated.
The unhyphenated spelling is favored by many scholars and institutions in order to dispel the idea that there is an entity “Semitism” which “anti-Semitism” opposes. Antisemitism should be read as a unified term so that the meaning of the generic term for modern Jew-hatred is clear. At a time of increased violence and rhetoric aimed towards Jews, it is urgent that there is clarity and no room for confusion or obfuscation when dealing with antisemitism.”
What has happened to this young man is appalling. It’s yet another war crime by the Israeli state. But trying to piggy back onto the recent antisemitic attacks in order to muddy the waters is piss poor. You know exactly what you are doing.
This is what Google has to say on the matter:
Antisemites argue that antisemitism applies to all "Semitic" people (such as Arabs) to exploit a linguistic technicality, aiming to redefine and diminish the term's specific, historical meaning. While based on the, "Semitic" linguistic group, "antisemitism" was coined in 1879 specifically to mean hatred of Jews, acting as a pseudoscience euphemism for anti-Jewish prejudice
