          Not really used as a term anymore outside of anti-semite meaning anti-jew

          But yes, they are both in the Middle East

          Technically yes, although the term “anti-Semitic” (as the German word Antisemitismus) originally became established through specifically anti-Jewish conspiracy writings in the late 1800s. So the term “anti-semitic” generally means anti-Jewish, rather than literally being against Semitic peoples.

      OBVIOUSLY /s

        They’ll probably call themselves Patresortians to reflect how great patriots they are to be proud of making such a terrible place so beatiful (in their minds).

        Same way American emmigrants like to call expats instead of emmigrants
