>AntiSemitism is hostility toward or prejudice against Jews as a religious, racial, or ethnic group. It is specifically used in reference against jews, but technically, lately has been used in reference to denote against Arabs as well. I think in this case he meant against jews considering the comments Ahamdinejad has made against Israel.

AntiSemitism is a word we have co-opted to mean prejudice against Jews. But Jews are not the only semites.

Here are both definitions from Websters:

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
