I noticed that the first poster spelled it “anti-Semitism” and the second poster spelled it “antisemitism”. The first way was more common until recently. Now the second way is more commonly used. I believe it is because there is no one group identified as Semites. Arabs, for example, may technically be called Semites although they are the most common perpetrators of antisemitism. Totally irrelevant to the original post but just an interesting linguistic point.
