There are two approaches to the "What is a Semite?" question.
Bible
Secular (non-Bible)
The secular approach says that the "semites" are the people whose ancestors once spoke a semitic language, such as Hebrew, Aramaic, etc. All these languages were similar to each other, and everyone in the Middle East region, near to the Mediterranean spoke these languages. So, all of these people were "semites" by that definition.
The people who lived there, according to anthropology studies, archeological findings, and historical records of the time were: Whites who later because the Europeans, Arabs, and what today would be called Jews.
Under this approach, we can AT BEST say that if jews are semites, then so are Arabs and White Europeans. So, there is nothing special about the jews.
The term "anti-semite" is really just a euphamism/censorship/control mechanism to really mean "anti-jew," since the jews themselves are against the "other semites" if we are using the secular meaning.
The biblical meaning of "semite" is one who is a descendent of Shem in the Bible. Shem is also referred to as "sem," which is where "shemite" or "semite" comes from.
According to the Bible, Noah had 3 sons: Japheth, Shem, and Ham.
Someone -- more than 1,000 years ago -- came up with the false idea that Noah's 3 sons were all of different races, with the Whites from Japheth, the blacks from Ham, and the jews from Shem.
This is complete nonsense.
Noah and his wife could not have had children of DIFFERENT races. This is a biological impossibility. It is just made-up nonsense because people think the flood wiped everyone on Earth out, and so ... where did the different races come from?
Well, the flood was local, not worldwide. We know this from historical records of other societies, which clearly were not wiped out during this time.
The original Hebrew word that has been mistranslated as "world" or "earth" really means "land." The land was flooded -- not the whole Earth.
So, those other people were already here, and were never wiped out. It was only the locals who God was mad at that were wiped out.
We know from apocryphal scriptures and contemporaneous historical accounts that Noah was White. He was chosen by God to build the ark and survive the flood because he was the only one left who was "pure in his ancestry."
He and his wife would have had 3 sons of the same race, since biology works like that. Although God "could" (in theory) do whatever he wants, there is no account of the sons being any different in appearance from each other or their parents.
This is unlike the Virgin Mary account where we know that a virgin cannot become pregnant. But God sent an angel to let her know she would become pregnant anyway, in spite of her virginity, because this was a special child she would carry.
Here, God makes it clear that he is intervening in normal biology.
This is not the case with Noah and his sons.
So, according to the Bible, the desendents of Shem are the "shemites" or "semites."
The jews are NOT in this family tree, so they are NOT semites.
Arabs are partial semites, since they come from Ishmael, primarily, and he was a semite.
They are more semitic than the jews.
The Whites are the most semitic of all.
If you recognize that certain jews, over many decades and centuries, have been working hard to turn the world upside-down in terms of truth versus fiction, then it would also follow that -- just like the Khazarians were known to steal others' identies -- the jews have done the same regarding the label of "semite."
Once you understand this, their claim of "anti-semite" is so absurd that you have to laugh.
MOST jews probably don't know this -- because they don't study the Bible anymore than most Christians do. But if you follow the family tree(s) in the Bible, the story becomes very clear.
Or ...
You can just use the secular viewpoint, and say they are no more semitic than anyone else.
I call em' the Revelation 2:9ers....
My question is how do you know a semite when you see one? A blood test?
Palestinians are Arabs.
Arabs are semites.
Killing semites is anti-semitism.
