According to Wiki....that term is relatively new.
Semites can also include the Abrahamic religion of Islam, who trace their heritage back to Ishmael in the OT.
Therefore, Christian Zionists can also be anti-Semitic simply because of their hatred of Islam and Muslims.....
Antisemitism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Etymology and usage
Antisemitism (also spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism) is prejudice, hatred of, or
discrimination against
Jews for reasons connected to their
Jewish heritage. A person who holds such positions is called an "antisemite".
While the term's
etymology might suggest that antisemitism is directed against all
Semitic peoples, the term was coined in the late 19th century in Germany as a more scientific-sounding term for
Judenhass ("Jew-hatred"),
[1] and that has been its normal use since then.
[2]
Usage
Despite the use of the prefix
anti-, the terms
Semitic and
anti-Semitic are not directly opposed to each other.
Antisemitism refers specifically to prejudice against
Jews alone and in general,
[2][4] despite the fact that there are other speakers of
Semitic languages (e.g.
Arabs,
Ethiopians, or
Assyrians) and that not all Jews speak a Semitic language.
Although the term "antisemitism" did not come into common usage until the 19th century, it is also applied to historic anti-Jewish incidences.
The term anti-Semitic has been used on occasion to include bigotry against other Semitic-language peoples such as Arabs, but such usage is not widely accepted.[5][6]
Although
Wilhelm Marr is generally credited with coining the word
anti-Semitism (see below),
Alex Bein writes that the word was first used in 1860 by the Austrian Jewish scholar
Moritz Steinschneider in the phrase "anti-Semitic prejudices".
[12] Steinschneider used this phrase to characterize
Ernest Renan's ideas about how "
Semitic races" were inferior to "
Aryan races."
