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.

Where can I find some anti semitic quotes by Henry Ford?
Q. i seem to cant find any anti semitic quotes by him. i guess people dont like to document or talk about him hating the jews.
Asked by Jose G - Sat Nov 3 20:28:36 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I wasn't able to find many quotes either: this may be because Ford didn't interact with many people--reportedly he was largely inaccessible to all but a trusted few, and access to him was controlled through his personal secretary, Ernest Liebold. Ford bought a failing newspaper, "The Dearborn Independent", and required all Ford dealers to subscribe to it: at its peak, it had 700,000 subscribers. It was through a writer for the "Independent", William Cameron, that Ford's anti-Jewish views were promulgated, with Liebold reportedly approving all Cameron's articles prior to publication. The "Independent" published a series of anti-Semitic articles later collected in book form as "The International Jew", as well as the notorious "Protocols… [cont.]

A. Im tired of the jewish's most infamous propaganda of Anti-Semitic this, Anti-Semitic that, bla bla bla. I've been hearing that word like 50-60 times, this week alone! How many times have we called ugly stubborn jews who put down Islam and Muslims, as Anti-Islam and Anti-Muslims. Jews have the bad habit of making non-jews sound and look bad when we only talk about slightest thing about their culture and religion. For example, if i say jews have big ugly hooked nose. The whole jewish community will bash me saying im anti-semitic, i have no moral values whatsoever. But on youtube, on here, and all over the internet, Islam and Muslims have been slayed and demoralized by jews and Christians but we muslims always let them go! Coz we muslims do… [cont.]

Was the United States almost as Anti-Semitic as Nazi Germany?
Q. Today in class, my Social Studies teacher said before WWII, one of the reasons the United States was reluctant to join the war was because, Amercians were almost as anti-Semitic as Nazi Germany. It seemed to be a bit of a stretch to me. What are your opinions? Thanks for answering!
