The word Semitic means people from the Levantine area so it includes Lebanese, Jordanians and Palestinians. Unfortunately the Zionists have tried to change the meaning to be Jewish people. I think the work you looking for is anti-Zionist or anti-Israeli. We should be separating Judaism the religion from Israel the country as most Jewish people I know cannot stand what Israel is doing.

It does mean that, but arguing semantics instead of talking about the issues directly doesn't help anyone.
