6. Semites
according to Webster's Dictionary:

1 a : a member of any of a number of peoples of ancient southwestern Asia including the Akkadians, Phoenicians, Hebrews, and Arabs b : a descendant of these peoples
2 : a member of a modern people speaking a Semitic language

Perhaps it is you who needs to know what the word means.

I do have a question for you. What makes you think that the Jews in Israel are not decendents of the ancient Isralites? Are African-Americans who have been in this country since 1619, speak English, where western clothing, and are western in outlook and lifestyle not of African?

As for hatred, I have never heard of Muslim hatred being advocated during prayer services, nor, as far as I know, is it official Israeli policy. Look at Palestinian Media Watch and you will be sadly surprised. Look at Egyption, Jordanian, ect radio and TV.
