Line 1:

Anti-Semitism is a type of discrimination that specifically targets those of Jewish heritage, it is arguably one of the oldest and most widespread prejudice in the world as Jews have been the targets of innumerable acts of violence and harassment from ancient times (though they are by no means the only group to suffer such hostility). However, is also associated to racism against Arabic people, who can't may antisemitic, being that Arabic language is semitic. There racist Ashkenazi Jews who are anti-Arabic.

Etymologically the word would seem to indicate opposition to Semitic peoples (a group characterized by speaking or earlier speaking Semitic languages). This is problematic since there are other Semitic peoples than Jews. This was originally somewhat less of a problem since there were few Semites except for Jews in Europe when the word was coined. Proponents of the Khazar theory may consider the word to be etymologically incorrect since some Jewish groups are argued to descend from the Khazars and not from Semitic populations.

Due to the mass-genocide known as the Holocaust a significant number of nations began to address Anti-Semitism and the importance of tackling it in order to try and prevent a regime such as the Nazis from reaching power again: however despite increased levels of awareness on the issue like all prejudices Anti-Semitism is difficult to completely erase.
