You really are wearing my patience thin with your obstinacy to see the reasoning.
Below is the explanation of antisemitism 5 different sources.
While the history of word might suggest that antisemitism is directed against all Semitic peoples, the term was coined in the late 19th century in Germany as a more scientific-sounding term for Judenhass ("Jew-hatred"), and that has been its normal use since then
One who discriminates against or who is hostile toward or prejudiced against Jews.
An attitude or policy of hatred and hostility toward Jewish people
1. Hostility toward or prejudice against Jews or Judaism.
2. Discrimination against Jews.
Antisemitism might strictly be used to refer to hatred of or hostility towards any member of the racial group "Semites," but in practice it is only used to refer to hatred of or hostility towards Jews and Judaism. The term was first seen in 1879 in Germany as part of a description of anti-Jewish political campaigns in central Europe. Many attribute the origin of the word to Wilhlem Marr, but it is not clear that he used the word in print before 1880.
Listen cockneydoll I don’t want you to think that I dislike Jewish people or something.
On the contrary I have great respect for their bravery, responsibility and loyalty to their tribal members, intelligence and historical tradition. I also very appreciate your explanation as a possibly established a convention about the word anti-Semitism.
But my point is that there is obvious possibility of being caught in a trap of illogic by using this term in take for granted manner.
Or if we used the most dominant way of logical thinking called Aristotle's syllogism (two statements one conclusion) than it would be:
1. First statement
Antisemite is someone who hates Jews (adopted convention)
Second statement
2. Orthodox Jews are antisemites ( As you've stated)
Conclusion:
Orthodox Jews hate themselves????????????????????????????????????
Something is not right.
