Anti-Semitic usually means anti-Israel; it literally ought to mean opposed to any descendant of Shem including Arabs, but nobody uses it as the sum of its parts.
You may find it funny, but nobody uses the term sectarian in modern times. As far as linguistic usage goes, racism is to skin color what anti-semetism is to religion. It all comes down to general bigotry for differences between people of different beliefs, cultures, backgrounds, or skin color.
I was trying to help Trismegistus not get downvoted, but as you point out anti-Semitism has not jumped the circuit to refer to any sectarianism in Christendom as T seems to advocate uniquely. I am all for suggesting new definitions of words when they can be used consistently and unambiguously and when the English-speaking community takes up the definition. The first may apply here, the second doesn't. Invoking the names of three Jews doesn't help T's case.
All the same, this thread now also contains a clear case of racism in implications that one can have something against Ashkenazim and Khazars on racial grounds only. Even if a people-group has ambiguous or disputed origins (like the Romani, who have an established culture but basically unknown origins), we have no license to charge the people-group with some discriminatory judgment or inherent agenda, either on this forum or in life. Please limit discussion to observation of what certain individuals have done, rather than attributing mass negative characters to whole peoples. Everyone gets equal protection for their actual cultural and racial status.
Thankfully, we hear in Revelation that many literal sons of Israel will be marked for a special purpose and will come to worship the Lamb, so we can have hope that lies (and truths) about Jewish heritage will also be revealed along with the rest.
No no. I agree with you, and him. Not pretending to know better. I know the literal term and definition. I said nobody actually uses the word in common dialogue.

But yes, please do mind your business if you’re not going to read the full statement. Have a nice day as well.
Funny definition. Perhaps you mean sectarian.

Why are you trying to convolute the difference between "racial" Jews and those who practice "Judaism"?
Very clever.
By the way, I have nothing against Messianic Jews, but Ashkenazi/Khazarian, different story. Why? Both are racially Jewish, so, what's the difference?
Agendas. That's what.
