Noun

anti-semitism

1. discrimination or hatred against Jews
2. discrimination or hatred against semitic peoples, not all of whom are Jewish (Literal interpretation; very rarely used.)

Usage Note

Because the term can be interpreted as extreme hatred to the point of genocide, care should be taken when attributing it to people or organisations. If the interpretation is not clear from context, then substituting a more precise phrase may be advisable.
