Ever Been Called "Anti-Semitic"? - Jews ARE NOT The Only Semites!
Ever heard somebody use the anti-Semitic buzzword when you said something they didn't want to hear? Well it's time to set the record straight.
by Quinton on June 15th, 2008The definition of a Semite according to multiple sources
First used in the late 18th century for those who descended from Noah's son Shem. Today it commonly identifies people who speak a Semitic ...
http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Asemite
1. a member of any of various ancient and modern peoples originating in southwestern Asia, including the Akkadians, Canaanites, Phoenicians, Hebrews, and Arabs.
2. a Jew.
3. a member of any of the peoples descended from Shem, the eldest son of Noah.
Dictionary.com
1847, "Jew, Arab, Assyrian, Aramæan," from Mod.L. Semita, from L.L. Sem "Shem," one of the three sons of Noah
Online Etymology Dictionary
Someone who belongs to the Semitic peoples. The Semites are supposedly descended from the biblical Shem, the eldest son of Noah.
American Heritage New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, Third Edition
So as you can see all the sources agree that a Semite descends from Shem, the oldest son of Noah. Obviously Dictionary.com had to give the short-sided, less-researched answer of "a Jew" when, as you will shortly see, this definition is clearly lacking in an understanding of the descendants of Shem and Israel in general.
The diagram attached shows a stellar genealogy of the sons of Shem illustrating that the tribe of Judah is merely 1 of 12 of the tribes. This means that they are not the only Semites, there are 11 other tribes!
Conclusion
So the next time you're called "anti-Semitic" in relation to the Jewish race perhaps what the person really meant to say was that they were anti-research.

Can you re do this map without the post that is covering up Esaus said of the linage, it's very important and I have some information about that side of the chart.

You can view the full genealogy here: http://www.d.umn.edu/~jbelote/bible2.html
Hopefully that helps!
It shows the same thing.. What I was looking for was the linage of Esau and the names of his linage which is not easy to find because everyone concentrates on Jacob.. Edimites are the ones to be watching, they are the ones that call themself Jews but there are two different kinds of Jews, one from the tribe of Jacob one from Esau. Esau sold his birth right and went of to live in the area of russia keeping in mind Esau was said to be a redhead baby, he ate Red lentils "Red" being the oprative word and a big clue on who they really are..
makes 5 video research on whatever you want until you are saw video that really shows you what you were looking for (e.g power plant, knife, cat, aircraft, blue shirt . now you did this please see with your eyes: nazi gas chamber. i didn't mean you are satisfied when it you have the mention: this is a remake of a gaz chamber, never have been used. or soviet army rebuilt the room and put holes on the roof to design it like a supposed gas chamber. now if you cna't find no video, i suggest you fly to Germany and make a movie because it ll be worth it for me, since i was not able to shoot a movie of any gaz chamber myself to show it to any semite or anti, or just to human kind basically. that makes anti whatever much easier to study, the subject is not here. it s just camouflage and lost of time
Try googling semite- my results show only anti-semite?????
The jews are not a race judaism is a religion. That is true that they are not the only semites.
