I'm going to nitpick your comment a bit, but this particular nit drives me crazy.

The term "antisemitic" is well-understood in English to refer to hostility towards Jews. I know the root "-semitic" is in there. Yes, Palestinians are also semitic, but that's not what anyone is trying to communicate when they use the word "antisemitic."

Please don't do it, because it's incredibly trivializing.
