Mr. Bozita wrote: Why is Anti-Semitism always linked with Jews? Jews aren't only Semites. Well, this one is very hard to answer, as the first line of the Wiki article abouyt antisemitism says "Antisemitism (also spelled anti-Semitism or anti-semitism) is hostility, prejudice, or discrimination directed against Jews as a group." Also, the second paragraph of the same article says "The root word Semite gives the false impression that antisemitism is directed against all Semitic people, e.g., including Arabs. The compound word antisemite was popularized in Germany in 1879 as a scientific-sounding term for Judenhass "Jew-hatred", and that has been its common use since then." So, no idea
