In linguistics and ethnology, Semitic (from the Biblical "Shem", Hebrew: שם, translated as "name", Arabic: ساميّ) was first used to refer to a language family of largely Middle Eastern origin, now called the Semitic languages. This family includes the ancient and modern forms of Akkadian, Amharic, Arabic, Aramaic, Ge'ez, Hebrew, Maltese, Phoenician, Tigre and Tigrinya among others.

As language studies are interwoven with cultural studies, the term also came to describe the extended cultures and ethnicities, as well as the history of these varied peoples as associated by close geographic and linguistic distribution.

Is it anti-semitic to dissagree with the POLITICAL actions of the state of Israel?
Q. Is is possible to truly admire a people,but dissagree with some of the actions of their government? Or is it disrespectful to separate the two in this case? I ask this question with due respect to both the people and their history. addendum I guess I was wondering if maybe Conservative or Orthodox Jewish people would see such a thing as being anti-Jewish?
