Back to reality, though: are you or are you not willing to accept that the term "anti-Semite" is, despite the *apparent* meaning of the term, most commonly used to describe anti-Jewish attitudes? If so, then problem solved. If not, the please explain why you do not acknowledge the definitive source on word usage in the English language. Please attach links to scholarly papers you wrote to get you PhD in English, especially if they touch upon the inaccuracies you found in the OED. > >I consider this reason enough to determine that you are not inclined > >to discuss this topic in good faith. > > Fine with me.
