      Uh… no. Not even close.

      I understand where that sentiment comes from, but “antisemitism” is prejudice and hostility targeted specifically at Jewish people. Semites or the Semitic people are an ethnic group originating from the Middle East that includes Jews, Arabs, and Akkadians. Antisemitism is the (false) belief that those “Semitic races” are inferior to the “Aryan race” based on pseudoscience, racism, and religious discrimination.
