>I know we (I'm Jewish too) have co-opted the word for our own use, but just to be correct about it, one cannot be anti-semitic if one likes arabs.
I understand your reasoning. :)
Let me add to this that officially, 'semites' are those who speak a semite language. So, formally, an anti-semite would be someone who detests those who speak a semite language. Many jews do not speak any of those languages. You and I neither.
