TIL the term "Semite" refers to both Jews and Arabs collectively.
@freemo Really? So, by that logic, Islamophobia is antisemitic?
@LouisIngenthron Yup, sure is.
@freemo Hmm, interesting. So, I wonder what the more specific term would be. Antijudaic?
@LouisIngenthron Interestingly despite a semite including all speakers of a semetic language, including jews and arabs, in general practice antisemite refers exclusively to jews... very confusing I know.
@freemo I mean, I guess if I can live with "inflammable" and "flammable" meaning the same thing, then I can live with that, lol.
@LouisIngenthron Irregardless to common sense it seems anti-semite is defined regardless of the definition of semite. This may make conversations about the subject a bit inflammable!
