Its funny to note that while "anti-semitism" is the greatest evil to the popular media, the term "Semitism" doesnt actually exist.
Why? Because the existence of the term "Semitism" would place emphasis on exactly what that term would imply. The term would be considered Racist. No different than "Caucasionism". Semitism, as is implied, represents (somewhat as a misnomer because there are many "semetic" peoples) the empowerment of the Jewish people. This, as dictated in the bible is a racist principle - the special covenant with the genetic ancestry of Abraham to "make of his descendents a great nation."
There is no Heaven in the jewish faith. Their covenant with God is for control of this world through the state of Israel, as God's Chosen Race. And that's what "Semitism" would mean, if it existed as a word.
So for anti-semitism to be equated with racism is suspicous, because "Semitism" is obviously the actual racist principle.
Food for thought.
