I apologise for not using an anthropological definition of the word. While the descendents of Shem are many, the term "Anti-semitic", and the semites it refers to, means the Jews. When one proclaims oneself anti-semitic, you would not be delcaring that you dislike Babylonians, Assyrians, Caanites, etc... You would be anti-Jewish. That is the definition currently operating. It is both precise and useful, if etymologically incorrect.
