African-American Jews Alliance of Black Jews, a now defunct organization Hebrew Israelites (disambiguation) African Hebrew Israelites of Jerusalem Beta Israel, also known as Ethiopian Jews Cochin Jews or Malabar Jews, a community of Indian Jews Abayudaya, a Jewish community that lives in Eastern Africa Igbo Jews, a Jewish community that lives in Western Africa Lemba people, a Jewish community that lives in Western and Southern Africa House of Israel (Ghana), a Jewish community that lives in Ghana

English Noun antisemitism (uncountable)

Alternative form of anti-Semitism Usage notes Often preferred by writers who want to emphasize that the historic usage of the term as it originated in Germany is specific to Jews, not to Semites generally.

anti-Semitism (countable and uncountable, plural anti-Semitisms)

(narrower sense) Prejudice, discrimination, hostility or political or religious opposition directed against ethnic or religious Jews or against Judaism; antijudaism; judeophobia. Synonyms: anti-Jewishness, anti-Jewism, anti-Judaism, antijudaism, Jew-hatred, Jewhatred, Judeophobia Antonym: Judeophilia (broader sense, rare, nonstandard) Prejudice, discrimination or hostility directed against any Semitic people (ancient or modern), such as Samaritans, Palestinians, Arabs or Assyrians.

Usage notes Though Semitic refers in a broader sense to all those who speak Semitic languages (including e.g. Arabs and Assyrians), the term anti-Semitism has historically referred to prejudice against Jews alone. To avoid the confusion of the misnomer, many scholars of the subject (such as Emil Fackenheim) now favor the unhyphenated antisemitism in order to emphasize that the word should be read as a single unified term, not as a meaningful root word-prefix combination.[1][2][3](See Wikipedia's article on the etymology and usage of the term.) Use of the term to refer to prejudice against any Semitic people is rare and nonstandard. Some use the term to hatred/prejudice against speakers of Hebrew, Arabic, Syriac, or any other Semitic language, as well as ethnic and religious groups associated with these languages. A very small number of writers use the term to refer to prejudice against Muslims, apparently considering them to constitute a Semitic race as opposed to only a religion. See citations.

Ancient Semitic-speaking peoples or Proto-Semitic people were people who lived throughout the ancient Near East, including the Levant, Mesopotamia, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Horn of Africa from the 3rd millennium BC until the end of antiquity.
