Maybe there's no point in dwelling, but I was just mulling something over yesterday.

"Anti-semitic", strictly speaking, should be discrimination against Semitic people. But this is where it gets tricky. I'm pretty sure not all Israelis are Semites. Certainly not all Jews are (e.g. Sammy Davis Jr was a black Jew...not Israeli, not Semitic; I believe Ivanka Trump converted to Judaism, but she clearly isn't Israeli or ethnically Jewish.). Not all Jews (ethnically) are Jews (religiously). I'm assuming the same holds for Israelis. At least some Palestinians ARE Semites, but perhaps not all of them.

Hitchens said that they Jews had the problem that they rejected BOTH the prophets/saviors of Christianity and Islam. And, for the Xians, were also guilty of deicide.

But I don't think it's that simple. Not all religious Jews are ethnic Jews, and vice-versa. Nor are they Israeli, necessarily.

Is there any point in making distinctions? Do the tiki-torch bearers hate Ivanka like they hate Netanyahu? Was Hitchens partially correct (I suspect he was)?
