Dear Brin-Lers,
I want to encourage you to join my campaign to replace the word anti-semitism
with Judeophobia. While anti-semitism clearly applies only to fear, hatred,
or prejudice against Jews it is on its face, confusing. It results in
scentences like:
"The anti-semitic Arabs deny the Holocaust."
This raises the question of whether Arabs are self-hating because they hate
all semitc people? (Arabs are often self-hating, but not for that reason.)
The sentence:
"The Judeophobic Arabs deny the Holocaust."
is less ambiguous.
