X - Antisemitism (also spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism) is hostility to, prejudice, or discrimination against Jews and Arabs.

Y- Antisemitism (also spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism) is hostility to, prejudice, or discrimination against any of the peoples who speak or spoke a Semitic language, including in particular the Jews and Arabs.

The definition above is incorrect - Semites are members of any of the peoples who speak or spoke a Semitic language, including in particular the Jews and Arabs. - The current text states that it's just Jewish people, this is incorrect and could be construed as targeting.

Suggested edit: definition of antisemittism

shouldn't the definition include that antisemittism is considered hatred towards Jews based on the fact that they are Jews? Hating your neighbour (who happens to be Jewish) for stealing your car, is not antisemittic. However, hating him for his religious believes is. Wikipedia definition as of today: "Antisemitism (also spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism) is hostility to, prejudice, or discrimination against Jews" My suggestion: "Antisemitism (also spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism) is hostility to, prejudice, or discrimination against Jews, based on the fact that they are Jews"

Edit Request under the "21st-Century European antisemitism" Header

Hello,

Under the 21st-Century European antisemitism header is the following claim:

"This rise in antisemitic attacks is associated with both the Muslim anti-Semitism and the rise of far-right political parties as a result of the economic crisis of 2008.[219] This rise in the support for far right ideas in western and eastern Europe has resulted in the increase of antisemitic acts, mostly attacks on Jewish memorials, synagogues and cemeteries but also a number of physical attacks against Jews.[220]"

Neither of the sources cited support that claim. In the first case, citation [219] (shown here: [1] ), there is a dead link; I've tried searching for the article online but I haven't come up with anything, i.e. I can't find the original nor can I find any copies of the article in question, or indeed anything citing the original article. In the second case, citation [220] (shown here: [2] ), the cited ADL report does not substantiate the claim made. The ADL report is a survey of attitudes towards Jews among various major European nations. The questions in the report deal mostly with belief in Jewish stereotypes and perceptions of Jews. It does not include anything about the far right, still less anything about actual attacks on Jews.

This being the case, the claim made is a bare claim. As it stands, the claim looks like speculation to me (albeit plausible speculation, although that's not the standard of proof for Wikipedia as far as I know). The claim needs to be either properly substantiated or, in the event that no proof can be supplied, removed.
