Wilhelm Marr (18191904) was a German agitator and publicist, who coined the term "antisemitism".

The concept of "Semitic" peoples is derived from Biblical accounts of the origins of the cultures known to the ancient Hebrews. Those closest to them in culture and language were generally deemed to be descended from their forefather Shem. and so on and on read some history man...

@nrondo You are not in any way wrong in that statement as regards the political and social usage of the term 'anti-semitic' but it is also true to say that the Palestinians are also Semitic as the previous commentator stated since the term Semitic is rather a linguistic term in it's truest sense and accounts for all Semitic languages (similar to the term 'Celtic') so it is in some way ironic to call Palestinians anti-semitic! Well I'm sure Slavoj appreciates the humour anyway..
