And, unless the terms 'semite and anti-semite' are fully explained to the public, they should never been used in public. Can we be ' pro and anti - semite' at the same time? According to Oxford Dictionary (AS Hornby 1977); 'Semite' is a member of any of the group of races that includes the Hebrews and Arabs and formerly the Phoenicians and Assyrians'. Anthony Dale
