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.

How does one figure that Ashkenazi Jews are Semitic people when they are traceable to Japtheth and not Shem?
Q. Uhhh, Ashkenaz was not descendant from SHem, where the term Semitic derives. Look up "Semitic" in the dictionary and it will say, "Afro-Asiatic...look up "Afro" and it says, "African..."

A. Because DNA evidence puts them almost indistinguishable from Sephardic Jews, and from the Arabs for that matter. Look it up. Education is a GOOD thing.

Is the Reptilian Conspiracy Theorists actually Anti-Semitic?
Q. I notice ALOT of simularities between the racist ZOG theory against Jewish people and the Reptilian Conspiracy theory. It's basically the same conspiracy theory, except instead of them saying "Jews" they say "Reptilian". Basically; It's code language so that they don't appear racist/anti-semitic to the main-stream. But other believers of this conspiracy theory know exactly what is being talked about. It's both very offense and those that actually believe a super race of reptiles are trying to take over are getting suckered into this racist thinking.

Is the government of the USA being anti-semitic for arresting peaceful Jews In Jew York and New Jewsey?
Q. Federal prosecutors say several rabbis in New York and New Jersey are also arrested. One congregant says a synagogue in New Jersey has been raided. In separate money laundering complaints, several individuals from Brooklyn and New Jersey were charged with offenses ranging from the trafficking of kidneys from Israeli donors to laundering proceeds from selling fake Gucci and Prada bags. It was not immediately clear how the money laundering arrests were connected to the corruption arrests.
