If we want to be really pedantic, "semitic" refers to a group of 
languages that basically derive from Aramaic. I think it's quite widely 
held that, irrespective of its technical accuracy, 'antisemitism' is the 
term people use to describe anti-Judaic things. English is like that; 
people aren't using the term in ignorance, but taking advantage of the 
self-corrupting nature of English.

On the other hand, it's also nigh on impossible to support any given 
Israeli action without the assumption that one also supports the 
eradication of any Palestinian nationhood. Very sith :)
