Is the Oxford English Dictionary a US dictionary? I believe it is a
British dictionary. (Please correct me if I am wrong.) The OED
definition specifically states that anti-Semitism is "theory, action, or
practice directed against the Jews." Nothing is said about widening the
scope to groups beyond the Jews in the OED.
