Also, calling him an anti semite without proof. The news has to tell people what to think.
Why do jews get a special word?
Why can't they be hated like everyone else.
Good question!
"Semites" is a larger group (including Arabs) that the Jews are just part of.
Why would the Jews include them?
They can. You're doing your part, aren't you?
Except semite can mean people other than the Jews, such as the Arabs.
Declaring hatred of other people is not fair.
There's what words mean; and there's how people actually use words. And those two are engaged in a constant struggle.
Rarely is that struggle so one-sided: The percentage of people who ever use "anti-Semite" to refer to one who is anti-Arab is effectively zero. The percentage who use it to mean anti-Jew is one hundred.
So, while technically it is correct to say that "Semite" can include people other than Jews, like Arabs, as a practical matter it is a suggestion that is functionally without usefulness. In actual parlance, anti-Semite = Jew hater.
