Att newmedman also: Looks i stand corrected already. When i posted this link earlier guess i didn't read down far enough:
Due to the root word Semite, the term is prone to being invoked as a misnomer by those who interpret it as referring to racist hatred directed at all "Semitic people" (i.e., those who speak Semitic languages, such as Arabs, Assyrians, and Arameans). This usage is erroneous; the compound word antisemitismus (lit.?'antisemitism') was first used in print in Germany in 1879[17] as a "scientific-sounding term" for Judenhass (lit.?'Jew-hatred'),[18][19][20][21][22] and it has since been used to refer to anti-Jewish sentiment alone.[18][23][24]
So, according to that anyway, the word is used correctly when taken as meaning Jew hatred only. If we take the info above as the gospel on the word. Tim Wise may argue it.
