You're entitled to your opinions. You are NOT entitled to make up fictional defintions. You are free to lobby dictionary publishers if you wish. Regardless of your insistence on the terminal literalism of root words only, words have DEFINITIONS. You know that. You're playing dumb for weird political reasons. In my experience, people who play cynical games as you did about the definition of antisemitism are usually motivated by a desire to deny the severity of the historical record of people hating Jews, trying to deflect it to an entirely different thing entirely. If you want to talk about hatred of Muslims, Arabs, purple people or whatever then you're welcome to talk about that as a separate topic. Anti-semitism is only about Jews. Period. End of story.
