In linguistics and ethnology, Semitic (from the Biblical "Shem", Hebrew: שם, translated as "name", Arabic: ساميّ) was first used to refer to a language family of largely Middle Eastern origin, now called the Semitic languages. This family includes the ancient and modern forms of Akkadian, Amharic, Arabic, Aramaic, Ge'ez, Hebrew, Maltese, Phoenician, Tigre and Tigrinya among others.

As language studies are interwoven with cultural studies, the term also came to describe the extended cultures and ethnicities, as well as the history of these varied peoples as associated by close geographic and linguistic distribution.

Why is it considered anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic to support a homeland for Palestinians?
Q. Isn't forty years under a brutal occupation rather anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian? Wouldn't anti-Semitism be more racism and religious discrimination towards Jewish people? How is rejecting Israeli colonialism and settlements anti-Israeli? It makes no sense.

A. It is propaganda for simpletons to get behind, they seem to support their position with some biblical reference. It is simple naivety mixed with propaganda from our elite that support israel as an extension of the wests imperialist goals

What is the difference between a Jew, a Hebrew, an Israeli and a semitic person?
Q. Are these words interchangeable i.e do they mean the same thing? Are any of them considered offensive.
Asked by mangi ps - Fri Jul 14 07:41:20 2006 - - 10 Answers - 1 Comments

A. The words are not interchangeable, and don't mean the same thing. They are not considered offensive when used in proper context -- but then, you can say that about almost any word, can't you? Jew refers to religion. Hebrew is a language and is also used to refer to people who speak that language. An Israeli is a resident of Israel (All Israeli's are not Jewish) and Semitic refers to a race of people. Traditionally, the Semites are people who are descendants of Shem (book of Genesis) and this includes the Hebrews, Arameans, Phoenicians, Arabs and Assyrians. Hope this is helpful.

Is the government of the USA being anti-semitic for arresting peaceful Jews In Jew York and New Jewsey?
Q. Federal prosecutors say several rabbis in New York and New Jersey are also arrested. One congregant says a synagogue in New Jersey has been raided. In separate money laundering complaints, several individuals from Brooklyn and New Jersey were charged with offenses ranging from the trafficking of kidneys from Israeli donors to laundering proceeds from selling fake Gucci and Prada bags. It was not immediately clear how the money laundering arrests were connected to the corruption arrests.
