You choose to read Wikipedia as an unassailable source. I don’t. Prefer my research independent, multi-sourced and unbiased, thank you, not some amalgamation by stink-tankers trying to please their bosses. Also, whole lotta “interpretations” there.

But since you like the Wiki so much, here’s a little for ya’: “The most widely spoken Semitic languages today are (numbers given are for native speakers only) Arabic (300 million), Amharic (22 million), Tigrinya (7 million), Hebrew (~5 million native/L1 speakers), Tigre (~1.05 million), Aramaic (575,000 to 1 million largely Assyrian fluent speakers) and Maltese (482,880 speakers).”

Unless words have NO meaning, these people are all ‘Semites’ and prejudice against ANY one or all of these groups is antisemitism. That word is not exclusive to any ONE ‘Semitic’ group, thank you.
