Re: [LincolnTalk] Antisemitism

[Anne Warner]

I agree both with the formal definition of Semite as including Arabs, as well as others, but it is unquestionable that the colloquial understanding of the word is anti-Jews.  May I suggest before we go down a rabbit hole here that we simply consider a statement that Lincoln stands against discrimination and hate crimes to any and all groups of people?  - Sent from iPhone.

Also from the Wikipedia: Antisemitism (also spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism) is hostility to, prejudice towards, or discrimination against Jews.
