While Arabs are also Semites, the term ‘anti-Semitism’ emerged in 19th-century Europe, where Jews were the primary Semitic group present. Consequently, the term has become synonymous with anti-Jewish sentiment.

In 1979, I made the first of what would turn out to be decades of periodic visits to Israel and the West Bank. I traveled there for the New York alternative publication The Village Voice to investigate Israel’s growing settler movement, Gush Emunim (or the Bloc of the Faithful). The English-language Israeli newspaper, The Jerusalem Post, then reported that settlers from Kiryat Arba, a Jewish West Bank outpost, had murdered two Palestinian teenagers from the village of Halhoul.
