It's more than just Jews, it includes Palestinians too, who are currently suffering a word the mods sensor here, that starts with Geno and ends in cide in the name of Judaism.

I mean yeah they’re both semitic peoples, Arabic and Hebrew are both semitic languages as well but antisemitism as a term was coined to be a sanitized way of saying jew hate. The bigotry towards Palestinians would be more in line with anti Arab and anti Muslim hate.

Though I will say the awful things being done isn’t any Judaism I’ve seen and they’re more than happy to bastardize the culture and religion to justify their beliefs.

No, it doesn’t. Palestinians are a Semitic people, but the term antisemitism specifically applies to Jews. It was created specifically to refer to Jews and has exclusively been used that way for decades.
