I think "anti-Jewism" sounds better myself.

I think the term "anti-semitism" served a purpose and made sense in europe. Foreign semites in europe, etc.
But when I hear people today call arabs anti-semitic it sounds rather silly.

K5125, You're spot-on, as always. To make a remark like "Arab anti-Semitism" is like Austrian "anti-Germanism," or Spanish "anti-Iberianism". I mean, Portuguese and Spaniards are both Iberians; so if a war broke out between them no one would be stupid enough to call either side anti-Iberian. So when Jews moved back to the Middle East and had fights with their Semitic cousins, it's simply retarded to keep using the term "anti-Semitism," when both sides are Semites. I wonder why no one calls Israeli treatment of Palestinians "anti-Semitic"? By definition, it is, isn't it? I mean, look at this racist rhetoric, as spewed by even Israel's prime minister [in this case, Menachem Begin (in 1976)]: "Our race (the Jews) is the Master Race. We are divine gods on this planet. We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects. In fact, compared to our race, other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best. Other races are considered as human excrement. Our destiny is to rule over the inferior races. Our earthly kingdom will be ruled by our leader with a rod of iron. The masses will lick our feet and serve us as our slaves." Imagine any other nation getting away with speeches like this in the modern age?

It's like when Irish say they dont like the British or when they say they want the "British" out of Ireland, but then the Irish have got a bit of a reputation as not being the smartest of people.

I think "anti-Jewism" sounds better myself. I hope you're kidding. That's the argument Arabs often make, i.e., how can a Semite be anti-Semitic? It's really not necessary to argue over semantics. Most people know what anti-Semitism refers to, and if not, there's always Webster's. This is such a non-issue.

Is there such a thing as anti-kabbalism?
