Yeah I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have let them burn to death but I would have been much meaner to them.

honest question here:

when someone is described as being anit-semitic, we all understand that to mean they hate the Jews. 

But the word Semite means any of the people who speak a Semitic language (Arabic, Hebrew, Amharic, Aramaic, Tigrinya, and others.)

How did "anti-Semitic" come to mean only hatred of the Hebrew-speaking Semites?

Morning shower thought?

I don't know the answer to that but it would be interesting to read the history on it.

Speaking of anti-Semitic pieces of shtein, Marge Greene (Q-GA) went to the Holocaust museum and discovered that 6,000,000 humans being incinerated was a bad thing.

tl;dr :  it's a misnomer.  but language doesn't follow logic, it follows usage, which is human and so you get words like this one

Anti-Semitism, hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious or racial group. The term anti-Semitism was coined in 1879 by the German agitator Wilhelm Marr to designate the anti-Jewish campaigns under way in central Europe at that time. Although the term now has wide currency, it is a misnomer, since it implies a discrimination against all Semites. Arabs and other peoples are also Semites, and yet they are not the targets of anti-Semitism as it is usually understood. The term is especially inappropriate as a label for the anti-Jewish prejudices, statements, or actions of Arabs or other Semites. Nazi anti-Semitism, which culminated in the Holocaust, had a racist dimension in that it targeted Jews because of their supposed biological characteristics—even those who had themselves converted to other religions or whose parents were converts. This variety of anti-Jewish racism dates only to the emergence of so-called "scientific racism" in the 19th century and is different in nature from earlier anti-Jewish prejudices.
